Best division at Big4 to enter to lateral into IB?

Trying to recruit for IB FT, but just as a safety plan I wanna have a big four back up plan. I get there’s a lot of posts here but wanted most updated opinions. Trying to figure out what division would be the best to enter out of undergrad to eventually lateral into IB? I’ve heard corporate finance and advisory. I’m targeting EY
