Maximizing Career Opps

Hi all, so I go to a non-target university and the best I was able to land for my junior internship is Big 4 FDD/TAS. I am unsure of how to approach FT recruiting. Since I come from a non-target, I do hope to get a top MBA eventually to build a stronger network, and also because I want to be competitive for larger banks down the road. For FT, should I bother recruiting for boutique or MM IB firms, or just ride out Big 4 FDD for the next 4 years. I don't want to start working at a boutique investment bank and pigeonhole myself....what's the best way to maximize opportunities while still be making $$$?
