Either one —> MBA —> IB.
I’d take big 4 m&a consulting b/c of transactional experience. Would make interviews easier but I’ve seen people do both routes.
do i need mba? not aiming for BB, will be happy with MM
You don’t need an MBA, it just helps a lot. Assuming you are still in undergrad (correct me if I’m wrong), why not just go for boutique IBs right now? They’ll be hiring throughout the rest of this year and into the spring.

Big 4 in your case. I've seen more of this transition than CB to IB.
Thanks for ur perspective.

For what its worth, I went Corporate Finance --> Large Accounting firm consulting (just outside big 4) -->MM IB. Many of the questions I received from the senior guys were plans on going back for my MBA so it is definitely something that would help. That being said my transition was a bit out of the norm. Happy to answer any questions you have specifically
