What would you do? - Senior in college with no finance experience

Stats: Senior in college with no finance experience and looking to get a job as an investment analyst at a hedge fund eventually. I already took CFA Level 1 last week, but I need experience. So out of the two options which one would you do to position yourself correctly for the hedge fund job?

Option A) BB internship PWM (unpaid) and get accepted into a masters of science for financial analysis

Option B) Operations job related to fixed income (45,000k a year)- would relocate to another city
