Best entry positions for (high) finance

Hey so like the title says, I recently graduated college this summer and been on the search for any entry level finance job. I've gotten interviews for DCM analyst positions, Prudential's investment analyst, and messages on indeed for KYC analyst. What other positions do you guys recommend applying that aren't talked about enough that will get you on a good path towards getting into a good enough B-school and try to make that switch to more front office roles?
