Full time recruiting from Buyside summer internship

I'm currently in my junior year at a Canadian target university with a summer gig lined up with a Canadian pension fund's private equity team for summer 2020. However, I'm not exactly sure what my best options are for full time . Whether that is recruiting for IB at a big 5 or any of the satellite offices, a buy side role at a different firm, or simply accepting a return offer assuming I get one. Any thoughts?
