Roast my experience / background

Starting this post to see what are the realistic probability of me getting into a BB or EB with my background and experience before I jump into blindly applying for grad roles and FT jobs.
Not from the UK, only moved here for university, just got a 2:1 in Durham BSc Finance ( First class in the final year if that helps), going to do a master in UCL for Banking and digital finance which is starting in September.
No direct IB or PE work experience in any top firm but have worked in Big4 consulting before, however that is back in Asia not in the UK.
Currently, interning at a small bank/ fintech company doing things related to M&A.
Is there any chance in this tough job market that I'll get a place or am I better off to focus my career path on maybe consulting or wealth management.
Would greatly appreciated if there is any other advice or things that I can do to improve competitiveness.
