First Post Name Self Explanatory

I work a finance role but it’s not where I want to be long term. I just graduated but didn’t have a great investment banking or relative internship. To break in should I continue trying to network with people or do something like corporate banking? Or another adjacent role? Maybe get a masters? Shit is tough.
