Tips for getting strategic finance job

I'm in a MM M&A group and need to get out, I've been not loving my job lately. 

I don't want buyside at all, and strat finance sounds like a relatively great lifestyle and package at the right firms (don't want to work with all ex bankers ideally ). 

How can I best find and position myself for roles. Ideally big tech would be the best in CA or NYC
