What should I do with big 4 offer going into top MAcc program

Hey monkeys,

I am heading into a Big 4 Audit internship in a major city (LA, NYC, SF, BOS) and then going to a top MAcc that places some into IB. It is a top program and considered a west coast target. I want to get into IB, but couldn’t because undergrad was from a mega non target. If I get a FT at my big 4, can I accept and still recruit for IB or should I decline and say fuck it
