How Hard Is It to Go from Consulting to IB?

Title. Aside from pure luck, are there any established or potential pipelines from different disciplines in consulting to IB? I mean like from management consulting to M&A IB, RX Consulting to RX IB, strat consulting to some other IB etc etc? 

Wondering if any bankers on here have any experience / insights on this...
