REPE, PWM or CF?

Hey All. So to keep it short, my end goal is to work at a HF or HFT firm. More than likely I'll have to break into IB post-graduation to get there, but as a junior at a non-target state school, my options for this summer are as follows:

  • Corporate Finance at an F500 company,
  • PWM at an MM accounting firm with top-5 AUM
  • As an acquisitions analyst at a small REPE firm ($1-10B AUM)

Would love to hear some advice/guidance on what would give me the best chance on breaking into IB after graduation next year. All jobs are in secondary market areas (Boston, Charlotte, Atlanta, etc.). At this point, I care much less about pay, just about the greatest chance of breaking into FT IB after graduation next year.

Thanks!
