Big 4 Tax Consulting to IB?

I have an offer for a Big 4 Tax Consulting summer internship in 2021 but want to go into IB, and my chances aren't looking that good. So now I have three options:

1 Do the Big 4 consulting internship and another PE/IB/VC summer internship at a boutique, then apply for FT IB roles.

2 Pursue a master's degree at a target (I'm already at one for undergrad) and re-apply for summer internships next year (I got feedback from BB and EB interviews and know what I'm doing wrong).

3 Take the Big 4 offer, convert it to a FT role, move to the valuation team, and lateral into IB (I need visa sponsorship if that helps).

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
