Bit of a dilemma!

I am in a dilemma on whether I should choose to pursue another degree in a top 10 university degree in CS or stick to a degree in top 4 uni doing something I don't hate, but dislike?

I am asking this because I might want to go into IB/Consultancy and I would have more access to alumni at this top uni (more opportunities with internships/events), which I won't get at a top 10 uni. Plus, I would do a non-finance degree-which increases the importance of going to a top uni.

The degree I would do in this top uni (if I don't get into IB/Consultancy) would be a dead-end-Phd research job.

What would you do and why?
Do the degree you want at the best uni you can imo

Life is too short

You can always do a masters at a target uni later on.
Danger with CS though is that banks will pigeon hole toy automatically into a technology role, especially if from a non target
