It's possible breaking into IB from top master's in finance in Europe/UK, but is there an equivalent to that for IB in the US? (Not MBA, no w/e)

 I'm graduating in CS (non-target state school) next year only have software engineering internship no previous finance internships and want to work in IB in the US, just wondering what's the best way to do that asap and without an MBA. Would the top UK master programs be good choice? Do they recruit for their US offices (I'm a US citizen)? Or is there a master's equivalent pathway in the US? Thank you.
