Pathway Forward UK

Hi,

I've managed to secure at internship at a MM IB Debt Advisory Team for this summer think (WB/DC Advisory/Baird/RJ) with a high conversion rate meaning, I would be likely to secure a return offer.  I'm currently a penultimate student at a semi-target think (Edinburgh/Bath/Bristol) and I have prior experience at a private credit fund and a boutique IB.  What is the best path forward to a EB or BB?  Would applying for summers as a final year and completing a masters at a top program be best or simply taking the MM IB offer and trying to lateral later on?
