London: How to lateral to BB or EB from low tier bank

Did a summer analyst position at one of GS/MS in IBD and unfortunately didn't convert, didn't manage to get any other offers but received an offer from a small low tier MM investment bank to start June and want to move over to a BB or EB as soon as possible. What steps should I take, should I wait 6 months and then start applying for experienced analyst positions at BB/EBs or should I reach out to current analysts at EBs/BBs and begin networking and asking them if theres an opening for me to lateral over?

Thanks
