Top pension fund direct investing experience- exit opportunities

So I’ve gotten a summer internship at one of those top pension funds on a direct investing desk, Global macro. But I’m not sure if I’ll get/want a return offer.

Do anyone care to suggest what I can do to make the most out of this experience and lever myself into a junior role a year later at a macro HF? Thanks in advance
