Second Year Internship Ideas? (First Year Student)

Hey there, I'm a first-year student looking to break into IB with a hopeful goal of Global BB (US Satellite) by the end of Uni tenure (3rd year to full time). Secured first-year with an ok job but very good brand name, but wondering where I should focus my efforts for second-year recruiting. Was thinking of potentially Big 4 Deals/M&A Transactions, but options seem limited. Any advice would be helpful. Going to a borderline Canadian target.
