Sophomore Internship for Banking

Current freshman at a target. I've Only recently begun to consider banking, so I will not be doing the traditional PWM internship this summer. I will instead be interning at a boutique consulting firm. With that in mind, what options should I be pursing for the summer after my sophomore year? PWM? F500 corp fin? Boutique IB internship? Of course, doing IB at a boutique would be the best option, but I have a feeling this may be unobtainable with my lack of direct finance experience.

Any and all advice is welcome.
