Recommendation letters for Internships and Msc in Finance

Hi everyone, I am currently completing a 6 month internship in a big 4 M&A and applying for summer internships at other places along with masters applications. I am in need of references and was wondering who I should ask. The only people with whom I’ve had some interactions are analysts and some associates. Would a reference from an associate be good(at least they know me and saw me work a bit) or should I try to ask someone with a higher title even though I barely ever spoke to them? Any other advice?
