Best European MSF Programs Length (1 yr or 2yr) to get into IB without Internship Experience

Hello, I am currently applying to European schools for an MSF program and I am not sure as to the length of the program for example Bocconi's 24 months program or LSE's 10 month program. I am an european citizen currently studying in the U.S. majoring in Economics with a 3.91 GPA and internship experience in JPMC in business analytics not IB or AM.

I want to ideally get a job in IB after I graduate from my MSF, but I understand that getting a job in IB having an MSF without internship experience can be very difficult.

My question is: Do you guys think that my JPMC business analytics (non-IB related) internship experience is enough to get a job in IB after I graduate from the MSF? or do you think it is better to enroll in a 2-year program in which I can defintely obtain an IB internship?

I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with this.

Any other advice related to this topic is highly appreciated. Thank you!!!
