If You Could Have Your First Pick; What Industry, Position or Company Would You Work at Straight Out of Undergrad

Obviously a lot of people on here are very IB or bust, but it seems that the reason for that is because it's more obtainable than a top HF, PE shop or Quant Trading firm.

For example, I'm starting in S&T at a BB this summer but if anything was possible I'd honestly rather be doing either Execution Trading at a top HF or even MBB Consulting.
