What to do when you want to break into tech from IB but the TMT group at your bank is bad?

I know it's a bit of a leap to go from IB to certain tech roles like PM  compared to corp dev or bizops etc, but for someone wanting to try, what should they do when the TMT group at their bank is just a pitch sweatshop and not winning many mandates (widely seen as one of the worst groups at the bank)? Assuming they're not currently part of a group, would it better to go to M&A, or if that's not possible, another coverage group unrelated to the tech sector but with more dealflow like Industrials or FIG?
