Moving from Big 4 to IB

I have 2 years experience at a big 4 firm in data/modelling as an analyst and currently work at another big 4 in M&A and have worked here for about 5 months. I want to work in IB. Any ideas on the best way to achieve this?? Would also appreciate any first-hand experiences of people who have made a similar switch...
