working for a sovereign wealth fund over a BB or MM

I have a pretty good resume with lots of experience (BB internships S&T) but there just isn't any recruiting going on at my school. I'm considering backup plans and would appreciate any advice.

1) Work for a major sovereign wealth fund - this is through a personal connection. What are the exit opps? 2) Apply to accelerated MBA programs like the 1 year program at Oxford - but I assume that would place me into London ... is this correct? 3) Apply for a masters degree 4) Wait until I graduate and contact some recruiters/"search consultants" like Glocap etc.. .

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
