High GPA Senior who didn't care about recruiting enough - no good offers

I am a dumb senior who thought a good GPA (3.86) along with three random internships would get me a job. Junior year internship was in internal audit (yuck), and I declined my offer. Now, I've decided I want something a bit more ambitious like CB, Corporate Development, etc, but it's already October and I've missed the boat on most good jobs. Yes, I screwed myself.

I have an offer for an F500 FLDP for a very average salary. Do I:

1. Take the offer, spend the next few years racking up certifications (CFA?) and networking in hopes of eventually breaking into a better job

2. Decline the offer, try to pick the scraps for any remaining roles in CB

3. Join a 1 year masters program in either accounting, data analytics, or economics, network all summer, and try again at recruiting next year

4. Whatever you guys think lmao I have no idea what I'm doing

Take the offer for the F500 FLDP. I don't think you need to focus on the CFA exam. Plan on working for a couple of years and then take the GMAT to go to a top 10 MBA program. 

If you want asset management or equity research you could do the CFA program, but many other paths don't require it.
