Seeking for any advice: International non-target with 1.5 year of internship at elite boutiques

Hi all, new here for the form but old in reading through all the useful materials you guys are contributing in here. So thank you for that.

I currently am a senior at a non-target school in upstate NY, graduating in December and coming from, similarly, a non-target BS in France.

I had the opportunity and luck to do 1 year of internships followed by a fixed term contract at elite boutiques (think Rothschild&Cie & EdR AM) back in the country before coming to the US. It consisted primarly of a 6 month internship in corporate credit analysis at R&Co followed by 1 year (6 month internship, 6 month fixed-term) in AM middle office where I did a part-time AM MO part time buyside AM FO for a star tech mutual fund as a research intern for roughly 10 months (with in hand written research reports - that were on average well received by PMs) - (I know, a quite strange configuration).

Fact is that I can come back home to start a career but the concerned firm does not take interns/debuting analyst in buyside AM for the moment and I "only" can land a final internship for the Private Banking Investment Advisory (PBIA) department - which in essence is a lot less research and modelling as I highly am convicted of a profession-seeker in that particular field (buyside, sellside). I am taking the CFA L1 this December.

Now that the special situation has been evocated, I am seeking a probably very important advice on the current path to take. I currently highly want to seek a job in the US - either as an OPT internship at a sellside, buyside AM (HF?) for instance or do a similar procedure with related french banks (BNP, SocGen..), the target being essentially NYC. (Considering as well an interest for IB, LevFin but the priority focus is really ER - and I don't put that much insistence on landing any IBD related jobs/internship without any summers or past exp).

I merely have a short time before starting the procedure to land the internship in PBIA, narrowing the effective decision time where either I'll jump with both feet for an internship/job in the US, or radically just go for the PBIA internship but put aside the "US career debut" card. It looks like a "take or try whatever can be doable" situation.

I therefore wanted to know if you guys have any idea of a career debut in the PBIA field - as to know, in an elite boutique, if it can be manageable later on to jump to ER in HF or AM. Taking consideration of my non target stature, is finding a related ER job/internship in NYC a hard move, considering the past internships ? I will not pursue a Master's degree as well, as a fact (for funding reason). And this dilemma could as well ruin a probable chance to start a potential nice career debut in both location.

Anyways, thank you for taking the time and if anyone has an answer, I will gladly take it, as I am now in a slippery slope trying to figure out how to start, well, something of a career.
