DCM: How to make the most of it

Hey monkeys,

Recently started an internship at impact-focused DCM shop - work here is mostly syndication and term sheet negotiation across all debt products. I'm relatively very new to the debt field. How do I make the most of it to get an FT offer? Also what are the exit opps like with decent pay and WLB and what are the skills I should develop to lateral into other exit opps, if this doesnt pan out. 

Background: Region: India, Education: CFA L2, IIT student
