Seeking for some advice for switch career to Investment Banking Industry

Dear all, I am wondering whether you could give me some advice regarding my career development. I graduated in 2014 and major in Accounting & Finance. Currently I am working in a Chinese-fund investment bank in Hong Kong as Deputy Head of corporate finance Team, being responsible for group financing and treasury management. I am applying for Master of Finance Program in "big brand name" university. If no admission I shall apply for MBA program next year. I hope to switch my career path to investment banking industry, specifically in IBD and M&A, could you please give me some advice? Million thanks! Rookie
