Career path to become corporate manager?

I’m starting my master degree in a tier 1/2 university in europe but I have a question: which do you think would be a good career path? I would like to avoid starting my career in a big corporation because pay is above IB and your career opps are limited at the beginning, so do you think that IB or finance boutique could be a good opp?
