Please help me rising senior

What jobs should I target if my goal is to lateral into investment banking? Should I try boutiques? I really need advice. I’ve got the technicals down, and I’m planning to try my hand at full-time recruiting. I have solid past internships, and this summer I’m managing a portfolio with a former asset manager. I just need some guidance ,I feel so lost. For context: I have a 3.6 GPA from a non-target, I’m involved in clubs, and I even started one of my own.
