help me go into IB

Hello everyone, I'm currently in my first year of a master's program in management (majoring in Corporate Finance) at a target university. I've just realized that what I want to do is get into investment banking (IB). I've had two internships so far (one in a startup and one in a multinational company), and from what I can see, it's really difficult to secure an internship in IB. I'm seeking your help. Assuming that my goal is this and I'll do whatever it takes to get there, what steps would you recommend following? Do you think it makes sense to gain experience in a BIG four firm to then have better chances of entering IB?
