Better to re-recruit ft from mid-buyside or low tier bank?

Hi all,

I'm a sophomore at a target who feels like I really blew it during junior summer recruiting and is now looking ahead to full time, I want to maximize my odds of succeeding there. Would it be better to do a mm buyside firm in my chosen field or do a lower tier bank with my eye on recruiting for ft? Also happy to hear any other advice/recs. thinking of recruiting for consulting or adding a masters and joining CO '27
