22, heading for IB. Looking to invest heavily

Hey guys, so I'm writing this because I want to grow my portfolio and want to hear your thoughts on what you think I should do. 

Here's some basic info:

1. Senior in College. No student loans

2. Incoming Analyst at BB M&A (GS, BAML, JPM, MS) in NYC

3. No other debts

4. Currently have 10K in stocks (10% SPY, 20% VTI, 20% Big Tech, 30% Data & Analytics (SNOW, PLTR, C3.AI), 20% options)

Did some math and figured that I can allow myself to invest about 1.5K a month off my salary plus any bonus I gets invested as well. Probably will divide these proportionally to what is seen above, plus opening positions on renewables like RUN, FAN, etc. Dividends stocks (KO, T, etc.) have been on my mind but not sure if its just a waste of time. What would you guys do in my position? Would you do it differently?
