GS PWM to IB?

Hey everybody. I am currently a rising Junior at target school in Houston and recruited last semester for IB analyst positions for both Houston EB and BB's. Although I learned a lot and made valuable connections, I didn't receive an offer. As backup, I applied for GS PWM in Houston and received an offer for financial analyst position there and am currently interning at a regional REPE firm in my hometown doing FP&A and acquisitions. 

Although I may have missed the boat, I have material to work with, and opportunities ahead of me. I I want to do M&A advisory and know this is the right path for me. What should I do?
