Advice wanted for career path

Hello,

I need some advice on what path to choose... last year I was an assurance intern in Big 4 and now I'm considering joining another Big 4 in TAS department from EY with the option of exit to IB(not GS, JPM, etc. smaller banks from Europe considering I'm from Romania) or continuing with audit and after 1-2 years switching to Big 4 advisory.

My goal when I started school was going into advisory in a Big 4 and later going into top management of a multinational and I'm not sure what path to choose... I'm also thinking that maybe from TAS I can switch to advisory?! BUT, I'm not sure this is the right time to switch from audit to m&a 'cause I'm also thinking that having a couple of years in audit is a strong background.

Any advice is welcomed!
