What's the best route for a career in Fintech?

Current sophomore in college looking to get into the financial technology (fintech) industry. What's the best route post graduation? IB? going straight to a fintech company? IB seems the most attractive due to skills and networking but I'm not sure if this is correct.

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!
