Where is my best opportunity? Exit Ops?

Well here’s my situation:

Internship experience at a small shop accounting and finance basically FPA.

I’ll graduate in 2018 a 3.1 GPA from a non target and I am pursuing a CFA designation; awaiting level 1 results.

FPA offer F500 (F100), FI ops offer $300B shop, and hoping for an SBA credit analyst regional bank-offer-haven’t decided yet.

What are my options, assuming I earn the CFA soon (next 3-4 years), can I get into IB/PE with a CFA and an MBA?

Will I be stuck in these fields forever regardless?

Any advice/ motivation is appreciated as I enter this new chapter!
