Rising Senior in ER feeling lost/FT advice

Hi all,
Currently at a asset management firm doing sell side ER for an internship, but after coffee chatting many of the associates they all think that getting a return offer will be difficult given the size of the last class.
I have been enjoying the work I have been doing but I need to be realistic going forward and have already been thinking about FT recruiting but have no idea where to start. Any advice would be helpful.
