Should I go to Grad School?

Hey guys, want some thoughts on if going to grad school would be the best option for me. Graduate with my bachelors, Finance from a smaller state school obviously a non-target in August and Im interning at a M&A firm this summer. I didnt really know what i wanted to do until early 2021 and was late on internships for that summer, so Thats really all the experience I have besides being on my schools SMIF which looks good. I want to do IB even if its at a boutique, but just not sure what chances ill have at landing interviews with my current resume and school. I have a decent network, but not really anyone at an EB or BB or anything like that. Should i apply for grad school somewhere? Ill prob graduate with a 3.4-3.5 which isn’t great because i did poorly freshman year but got my head straight and get straight A’s now in all my upper level classes. Also, long term goals is buy-side in VC/PE which i have some connections in, would it be a better idea to try to go full time (hopefully) at the M&A firm and then network my ass off to try to get into a smaller VC/PE firm?
