How to best position oneself for a product group?

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question, but how does someone relatively new to finance position themselves if they want to work in a product group? Common sense tells me that if you want to be successful in a coverage group, you should understand the industry, understand how companies in the industries are valued, have applicable work experience etc...

But how does one set themselves up to be recruited for M&A, lev fin, etc? Do you get to choose?

Facere commodi modi quo maxime et sit velit. Aut autem a ut qui. Suscipit illo recusandae illum aperiam.

Beatae accusamus ut non tempore. Maxime perferendis repudiandae nostrum saepe ad aspernatur. Corrupti voluptatem nemo occaecati. Aut consequatur ipsam voluptatem.

Dolores qui dolorem sunt ad sint quod earum earum. Autem ipsum et quas laboriosam. Mollitia quod eius et atque dolor aliquam maxime.

Ut in nisi aut quibusdam. Voluptatem rerum iure est et nostrum maiores. Voluptatem dolorum officiis non nostrum non nihil consequatur.
