Turnaround Restructuring to Restructuring Banking. How to make the move?

All the posts related to this seem to be slightly outdated - so I'd figure I'd put this out there and see if anyone at EB Rx shops has any insight they would be willing to share.

I'm a junior associate at one of the Big Four in their restructuring practice. Our group is certainly up and coming in the Turnaround Advisory world, we've won some huge deals beating out the top firms (A&M, Alix, etc.), and I've been fortunate enough to get great CRO debtor side exposure on these big names. Aside from the standard 13-week CF liquidity and DIP models, we've handled the groundwork for building 3-statement models used in a handful of successful divestitures. I'm more interested in the modeling/business planning side of Rx, and less so the operational day-to-day aspect of "putting out fires" or the BK admin work handled on the Turnaround side. Not to mention, working 80+ hours/week is different when you're a 15 min subway ride from home vs. half-way across the country in a hotel room.

From the perspective of EB Rx Banks, how competitive is a resume from one of the lesser-known Turnaround Rx shops, but with objectively great deal experience?
