How to IB —> HF

Entering 4th yr at a semi-target. Doing an IB internship this summer. Will try to land something on the buyside as a fall/winter internship before i graduate (common in Canada). 

Is 2 years in IB better to break into a well-paying/good progression HF or should i get into an investing role right out of undergrad. I want to be in the HF space by my late 20s. Thank you!
