Hi!
I would really appreciate if I could get some guidance about a switch in roles/companies.
Context: I am a final year undergrad and accepted an offer from a Bulge Bracket Bank (CS/DB) after a summer stint. The role is middle-office; work is decent but not client-facing. Since I am decided I would like to pursue an M7 MBA particularly H/W/S, should I look to switch to MBB or some tier-2 consulting firm (ATK/EYP) instead? From what I researched - middle office roles don't fare as well as others. As for sectors, I would be indifferent between consulting and finance.
Other stats in the application are nice - 9.62/10 GPA (4.0, converted) from the best commerce college in India. Multiple leadership positions at school and undergrad. Lots of competition wins, multiple publications in college journals, a few social initiatives and pro-bono consulting projects and the like.
Any advice will be a lot of help, thanks in advance!

Alphabetrium:
There is no "right" role that will get you into any of those ultra selective schools. You still need to score well on all the major components: GPA, GMAT/GRE, recommendations, career vision, etc. as you probably know. It sounds like you have the makings of a solid application.
That being said, the schools do acknowledge brand names and the solid experiences that come with working on one of those firms. If you think a management consulting experience would be beneficial to your career then you should try to make that move. Bear in mind, it won't be easy to lateral at the pre-MBA level. Again, it may help with admissions but it's the furthest thing from a guarantee.
You may want to check out this YouTube session held by one of our top consultants on the value of MBB in the MBA admissions process:
