TAS Intern to FT Investment Banking

I’m interning in TAS / Deals Advisory at a Big Four this summer and am trying to figure out the best way to approach FT investment banking recruiting.

Are there certain groups that are more receptive to TAS backgrounds? Thinking M&A, RX, financial sponsors, lev fin, or specific coverage groups, but not sure where the experience is most transferable.

Would appreciate any advice from people who have made the jump or seen it done, especially on how to position the experience for FT recruiting.
