Study or work!

I’m in my last year of my undergrad and got a summer offer at a MM in Melb Australia - was very stoked. My dream is to still make it to BB, but just wondering what my best course of action is...

  1. Do the internship, but then keep studying (masters) and apply for BB internships next summer

  2. Do the internship and accept (hopefully) the grad role, get 1-3 years experience then try transfer to BB

Plz help!
