What should I do? Take CM or keep searching?

How hard would FT recruitment be as a capital markets analyst over the summer? Is it unlikely to stay in capital markets for two years and then be able to lateral/move to a new firm as a first year analyst in classic banking? Do business schools look a groups differently? Thanks for any help.
