Need advice on my future.

Hello everyone,

I am currently a bachelor that will start their master in September 2024(EU), I did a 6-month in middle office private equity a few months back. I have to enroll for an internship in January-February and was wondering if audit was a good idea as a roadmap for my career plan, do you think that audit role could lend me an M&A internship for my master? Obviously, I would like to be able to join front in M&A for my last internship to prepare my future, to end in PE after a few years in M&A. 

Thanks for reading! :)
