Regional M&A boutique SA to FT MM/BB?

I am in need of some advice. I’ll be interning at a regional M&A boutique in a tier 2 city. Will it be possible to recruit FT end of summer? When should I start networking with MMs BBs? Is BB even possible? Has this ever been done before? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
