Post-MSF/Internship Choices

Hello,

In desperate need of some advice. I am a current MSF student at a top UK university. I've got an internship within IB (CapMarkets) next summer with a fairly large bank. This is exactly the sort of role that I have been looking for, however I have a problem since it is only an internship. Whilst I am planning on converting this, I can't afford to spend a year waiting for the grad role to start. I have some other offers/interviews of full time positions, but are at much smaller banks or in asset management, neither of which I want to do really. However I just cannot sit out for a year waiting for the grad scheme - advice please?

Thanks!!
