I got a full-time offer at MBB. Will start this fall. Next step?

What's the move now? I could easily slack off (by slacking off I mean only focus on "current work" rather than the "next step") but that does not seem wise. The thing is, I don't even know what the next steps are. For instance, in IB, it's IB -> PE (a generalization, but a valid one I believe).  What's the move for MBB? (I know that MBB leads to a greater variety of paths - but knowing that and sitting on my butt does not really help to get somewhere). 

So, what's the "move" once you're a 1Y full-time?
