IB or Consulting Recruiting

Hi,

I am a junior who previously worked at a top BB in a competitive groups that has strong exits (MF, top MM etc) and am from a top-target school (5-years of school to complete extra degree). I ended up leaving that group and decided to go an alternative way. Basically, for various reasons, I am now looking for an internship. I am considering recruiting full-time consulting or even going back to IB next year (at different bank). I am considering working at a search fund this summer or corporate strategy. The search fund seems interesting and would give hands-on experience for direct investing. I also like the entrepreneurial nature of it and the potential to have genuine responsibility. Thoughts on doing a search fund junior summer after working at top BB for impact on full-time recruiting? Alternatives would be corporate job or research job with professors. Thank you for all advice.
