I need help with my career

Hello WSO

I am currently a rising senior at semi-target doing ML PWM internship this summer. I have very strong desire to make a career in IB or Trading, But my circumstances are not the most ideal so I am looking for ways to improve my chance for the full timer recruiting that is coming up. I thought about delaying my graduation but my family's business is almost on the verge of bankruptcy so that is not the choice I have. Also. I would love to get a job that would pay me descent amount with upside because I need to help my family pay off their incredible amount of debt.

What can I do to make myself somewhat competitive over the summer and during the last year of college? Is there a fall IB internship program that I can do?

Also, what would be my safe/target job options given that I only have PWM internship under my belt? F500 corporation? or big4??

How should I approach this situation?
