I would be patient and continue to explore internally first. M&A is hard to DH t now with the slowdown and firms aren’t likely to take on someone externally that isn’t already experienced in M&A

Apply through open roles. Best to have someone at the company vouch for you though.

Definitely can get competitive internally but m&a is busy and growing fast. If you’re patient enough, it should work out. Reach out to someone on in m&a, you could probably start in partnerships (sub k).

What level? The problem atm is a lot of places hired very aggressively and now the market is a bit frozen so a lot of places probably aren’t looking for associates.

Above senior the transition is always difficult as the experience just doesn’t line up
