Switching from Tech Consulting to IB

Hi All,

I am looking to switch from tech consulting at a BIG4 into IB. I have a B.S. in Comp Sci & Finance from a non-target and just shy of 2YOE in tech consulting with a big4 in NYC. I've been looking to break into IB fro a while but havent found much traction over the past month or so. I understand times are uncertain and there are a lot of moving variables, but I'm looking for advice on where to start and how to gain some momentum.

My undergrad doesn't have many alum in IB so networking has proven quite difficult, although I've reached out to a few, with no success. Can anyone provide me with any opinions, insights, or guidance to begin picking up traction. All response are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
