Fresher looking for M&A jobs

I am an MBA student graduating in May 2018 and looking to transition from IT industry as a software engineer to begin my career in Finance. My particular area of interest is Valuations and M&A and am open to relocating anywhere as long as the job is challenging. I am currently feeling lost as most of the job openings looking for some finance experience which I do not have. I will be grateful for any pointers or leads to job openings. Thanks in advance.
