What internship is preferred for summer to boost CV for FT role for MBB?

Another follow up questions on this, if did not get any MBB or tier 2 consulting MBA summer intern (London office) , what type of internship is preferred for summer, in the goal of applying to MBB again in autumn (London office) - tech? (E.g. Amazon) - start-ups? (fintech? Or…) - VC ? (What industry…?)

Open to ideas and discussions

(PS the candidate made it to McKinsey first round, Bain final round. But no tier 2 interview invitations)
