Should I get into advisory or consulting?

I'm in the UK at a non target and I study Accounting and Finance. I want to get into investment banking after b-school several years down the road (or maybe before if I managed to network my way in). But for my career after I graduate, what job will increase the odds?

  1. Audit -> advisory -> TAS 

  2. Consulting

  3. Investment research (I added this one because I like researching investments, fundamental analysis, etc.. )

 

Thanks man. That's great advice. Out of all of them I am really passionate about investment research and investment banking.
