Lateral into IB

Ignore my name but I am currently doing economic consulting in one of the top firms. I never thought of doing ib in college and did a trading internship at one of the BBs junior year. Now that I have done plenty of valuations for lawsuit I want to try to lateral to ib given the much better career trajectory than the current job I have. I went to a top target with decent gpa and just hit first year in my job. Any advice on how to lateral? 
Don’t really have a preference on product/ sectors in terms of lateral. Anything will be better than spending hours making footnotes and citations.
