Leveraging Intern Experience?

Hi everyone,

I was late to the IB recruitment pipeline and don't see that as perhaps a realistic option for a job right out of graduation. That being said, I am looking for advice for full-time roles.

I am currently interning at Grant Thornton doing Valuation and Modeling. The work and training seems to be beneficial and I assume there is decent overlap with other roles/industries, but generally I am quite bored and I don't think the energy/culture of PA is for me at all. 

Does anyone have any advice on specific industries/companies/roles I should seek leveraging this GT experience? Really just want something a bit more exciting/fast-paced and am open-minded. 

Some additional details: I go to semi-target in Midwest and have good GPA. 

Apologizes in advance if this is wrong forum + super broad.
