Poor GPA ideas to break into IB

Hi guys I'm European and I had a bad GPA in my bachelor something that could be 72% in percentage, and Im currently enrolled in US in a master of finance and my GPA now is around 3.1, I was thinking to look in BB in Latam to start and then move back to US with internal transfer, do you think I could have some chances or which could be the best path to break into ?

Ducimus a ratione amet in quaerat veniam consequatur. Sed placeat quidem doloremque. Ad tempore corrupti ratione voluptatem temporibus. Tenetur consequuntur optio qui cum.

Nam eaque eum porro sint natus. Voluptas molestiae vel odio tempore aperiam. Aliquam et quam recusandae consectetur quia corrupti. Cum aspernatur quia tempore fugiat.

Est adipisci ipsa ut ab culpa eos exercitationem. Quis natus molestiae doloribus molestias optio. Sit eius perferendis nihil enim sint. Esse distinctio animi hic omnis ex ratione veniam ut. Fugiat assumenda ipsa fugiat magnam. Quibusdam ut dolorem dolorem.
