Jump from sales trading to IB

Would sales trading experience be useful to jump to IB at all? I’m currently on the S&T side and would like to change to IB, specifically M&A, I wonder if i should remain in my current position as I recently got promoted to this role (still fairly junior) or start to apply for IB internships
