Re-Recruit Off-Cycle or FT?

Hey all, I am an incoming SA27 at a reputable but by no means "Prestigious" MM bank. I go to a non-target school. I was quite late to the typical recruiting cycle so this is where I ended up. I feel as though I can definitely make the move up to a BB/EB.

Anyways, I was wondering if it might be worth my time to recruit off-cycle SA27 roles at these larger banks. Even if I was to do so, I don't think I would be able to leverage the MM SA27 gig I already got. I think I would only be able to leverage the Summer Analyst gig I have this summer at a small boutique. 

Or I could just wait for FT recruiting, in which I would be able to leverage all of my current and future experiences. Or I could even just stay at the MM for FT if I like it that much. 

I wanted to get some thoughts from people who might have had experience in a similar situation or anyone who cares to share their 2 cents.
