SA or FT as Law Grad

Hi guys, 

i finished last school one year ago in Europe and after working in M&A Law firms I want to start my career in IB.

Which strategy would you advise me to follow.

1) Apply as FT in smaller Botiques in UK/GER

2) Apply as SA in BB or MM, eventhough I am not sure if this is possible becasue I graduated already 12/2021 

3) Apply as FT in BB 

4) Qualify as a M&A lawyer and work for big Law for few years then pivot

I am 26 years old and feel really devasted, seeing people already working in the industry as 20yo. Law studies in Austria/Germany take at least 6 years + I also had 

to do military service. 

Really I appreciate your thoughts and advice !
