Lateral from boutique to big 5

I’m a 1st year analyst at a boutique in Toronto. Generalist.

Want to move to big 5 for better deal exposure, brand name for exits, and be apart of a specialized industry/product group. E.g. m&a, mining, tmt.

Anyone have any advice on making this kind of move? As well as, how feasible is this, how to manage networking without my company finding out, etc.
