Way to the top after dual study

Hey Guys,

I´m new on this platform but I recognized that this is a good place to ask experienced people of the financial sector.

So:

I´m a Business Administration/Banking student in germany and while I study, I´m working for a bank here in Germany. I will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts.

What do you guys think:

Is it (if yes, how) possible to find a way into IB, PE or HF after I made a master of finance?
And which school for a master would you guys recommend?

I´m just helpless and don´t know where to go next. I don´t want to get stucked in commercial banking.

Thanks!
