M&A/ lev fin risk to PE?

Hi everyone, really hope you can give a bit of advice.

I'm an N1 at an good-average BB (think UBS, BAML, Barcap) in London doing m&a and lev fin risk, essentially lbo and acquisition risk analysis. A large about of the job is understanding the models behind the transactions, providing input into the assumptions etc but our team does not own the modelling process.

My question is this: how hard will it be to move to a top PE shop in a couple of years? With my current role do i have any chance of going MF and them eventually top b-school? Am
I already too many rungs of the ladder down the chain? Do I need to heavily angle towards M&a to have any chance?

Any input useful!

Thanks
