Should I apply for SA or FT?

Currently a student at a decent European University, certainly not a target like Bocconi, HEC, LSE. I previously interned in DCM at Citi/BofA and this summer I'll be doing strategy consulting at LEK/EY-P/S&/OC&C, mostly doing commercial due diligence type work.

I'll be graduating in 2023, so my question is should I attempt to recruit FT for GS/MS/JPM or apply for a SA position instead? I don't really want to take a year out or do more internships, but if it gives me the highest success chance I'm open to it. 

This would be for classic investment banking, not CM.

Thank you, appreciate any comments

Edit: Apologies for not clarifying earlier but this is for London.

 

In the United States, it's very rare for a senior to get a SA position and not normal by any means. I've seen it happen maybe 3 or 4 times but firms here are trying to recruit for juniors. Idk about europe
