Mind if I ask what all-in comp is like at your MF for AN1? Feel free to PM if you're more comfortable with that - asking as I have the chance to enter a similar process

 

I was in the exact same position as you - got an offer for a MF IR team FT out of undergrad. I talked to a lot of people, and I ultimately turned down the IR offer and went to a MM PE shop for FT. Since I wanted to do investing, that was probably one of my best early career decisions. From what I know, it seems like a very long shot to move from IR to investing, even at the junior level.
