Wharton Grad lateraling from LMM PE Shop

Hi - I graduated from Wharton Undergrad in 2017, took a year off, and then worked 2 years at a lower middle market private equity fund.  Perhaps I have an untraditional background, but I do have the target school degree on my resume.  I also have great experience doing diligence, modeling, etc.  

Any recommendations on ways for me to lateral to another private equity fund?

You could probably land an interview somewhere though the Wharton alumni network.
