Help - College Junior - What do I do?

 Junior at a semi target

major in finance and operations, minor in math

3.8+ GPA

in a few selective orgs that have a couple people starting MBB FT

did internships in politics previously, tried accounting this summer. starting this summer in the healthcare finance automation group for a not well known outside of the industry consulting firm. I haven’t accepted the offer yet but have a few interviews for operations manufacturing roles at F500 companies, not sure if I should wait out the offer though because I could be screwed and end up with nothing.

 I do really like the firm for this summer and think I could get experience in a lot of different roles, they seem very flexible with tailoring it towards my interests. 
 

I’m really concerned about my ability to get into consulting in the future. quite a few people from my school go big 4 consulting but I didn’t switch from accounting to consulting early enough to network and apply for those intern roles. 

What do I do now with no consulting experience? Am I basically stuck going for my MBA and re-recruiting?
