Goldman Intern Seeking Advice

Got return at Goldman AWM, total comp (bonus+overtime+base) ~$90k. Go to an Ivy (3.8+) on full aid. Any suggestions on how to approach FT recruiting for IB/PE undergrad (I'm completely new to this)? 

Just looking to maximize comp tbh, have always been worried about money most of my life, was washing dishes, cleaning the gym, and making coffees for half of college and want to never think about it again - more than willing to put in the work, would be grateful for any advice or coaching if someone is feeling generous lol

Crush your 2 years then transfer groups into banking after - GS is great about internal transfer (if you have good reviews)
