Best Offer to Get Back into Banking

Non-target, did 2 banking internships at BB/MM, but messed up during FT interviews.
Choosing between offers from Deloitte S&O, RM at a reputable MM, and FLDP at F500.
What's the best offer to take if I want to break back into banking after 1-2 years.
Thanks for your help in advance.

MM would be the best, imo.

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

Maybe I'm just blanking hard but RM = relationship management?

I would take Deliotte S&O, but depends on the FLDP (example: could you get a corp development/acquisitions role as part of the program)?

If you pick the consulting role just make sure you don't stay too long (more than a year) otherwise you will get funneled onto the consulting track and make it seem like you are less interested in banking now.

 

Depends on how quickly you want to get into the BBs. If the F500 program is reputable ( = gets people into Top 10 MBAs) then do that, especially if ti's an industry you are interested in. 2 years, B school and then BB after that, with the added advantage that you'll have some industry exposure. Consulting and RMing may get you "pigeon-holed" out of banking ... better story would be I loved my industry but realized I wanted to get deals done, etc. etc.
