Transitioning from IB to Company Management

I'd like to do an off-cycle next January before graduating. On the long run, the objective is to transition to company management.

  1. What is the best way to start off, M&A? Rx? Other?
  2. How much time should one stay in IB before moving on?
  3. What is the traditional transitioning process?

Many thanks for your advice!
