Not sure what to do
Hi everyone, been lurking for a while but I need some sort of advice or a slap in the face with reality. My backstory: I go to a US non-target school (3.8/4 GPA) and major in finance, graduating next year. I was able to get a big four and MBB internship and realized consulting wasn't for me, then pivoted to a BB Corporate Banking internship, and I am going to hear back this week for an EB investment banking internship for this summer (however I feel pretty confident about it). Note: none of these internships were in the US, they were in my home country.
Recently I had some personal circumstances that made me really want to target the US - I am a US resident. I want to repivot my career targeting IB in these cities, but I know I shouldn't be too confident as I don't have a US internship. I figured I have 3 paths: Option A would be to recruit for the full-time analyst roles (although I know my chances are slim, even with my internships), option B would be to go for a MFin or something at a top University and apply for the next cycles (I have a scholarship, finances aren't an issue), and option C would be to continue through one of the 3 opportunities I have back in my home country (not ideal due to personal circumstances).
I know to not miss up on the opportunity back home given I have return offers, but that would honestly not be ideal for me. Should I completely abandon the idea to recruit full time for fall 2027? Are there any master's programs that give me a high chance of being able to secure something? Or do you think I'm thinking about all this completely wrong? Thank you!
