Big 4 FDD Associate looking to lateral into banking -- tips?

Just started my job in FDD at a big 4 firm and am looking to get into IB. After a couple weeks on the job, It's confirmed that this is not at all what I want to do. Need to have a higher impact position and higher impact surroundings.

Looking for tips on lateraling, time frame, off track analyst spots, best way to study/prepare/network. Let me know if you have any tips.
