2 years @ high yield fund during undergrad, where next?

For the past two years, during my undergrad, I have worked as an intern (basically was an analyst that got paid less) at a small high yield mutual fund that focuses on ESG (we don't give a shit about the esg, the environmental team just tells us were "allowed" to buy) and I'm graduating this year with my BS in Econ this year from a non-target school (good grades, deans list, head economist of schools investment club) and trying to figure out where I should head after.

I know the typically most people go with the IBD route but I also feel like I've got way more experience than your average grad with 2 years at a small fund where I get access to almost all the investment decisions and what actually goes through the head of buy side folks and I would much rather continue on this route than go to a big bank. Is it possible for me to go straight into a PE, HF, or other buy side fund straight out with my experience? Also would love to hear general thoughts on what a good trajectory is for someone in my shoes?
