Non-Tech IB Lateral to Tech Corp Dev?

Title says it all, does anyone have experience lateraling from non-tech IB into a corporate development role at a FAANG or similar company?

How did you make yourself competitive in the recruiting process? How did you sell your deal experience to the interviewer, even when it wasn’t in the same industry? Appreciate the advice, thanks!
