Received BB M&A SA 2025 offer - what are my options?

Hi all - I just received an offer for a BB M&A group in a regional office (SF, CHI). I'm super excited about the offer, but I don't see myself enjoying living in the area after college. I'm wondering what my my best course of action is if I want to end up in NYC. Should I take the offer and then try to lateral internally for full time? Or should I try to rerecruit for FT elsewhere (assuming I get a return offer)? Alternatively, I could try to leverage the offer for an internship in NYC, but I don't know if I will be able to secure something at an equally good bank. 

I know that I want to get into the buy side after so it's important to me that I end up somewhere with strong exit opportunities. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
