What are good junior year finance internship to get IB summer internships in sophomore year?

Hi guys,

I see the internet recommend finance internships for first year undergrad students, so they stand a better chance at sophomore year IB internships. 

I understand there are certain skills that are ideal when applying for IB internships, such as financial modelling, due diligence, etc. 

I heard good finance internships include: search funds/ VC/ PE/ maybe a general "finance" internships at banks/ or even a position at a big four accounting firm just to get the "brand" name on the CV. 

Which is best for pursuing IB summer internships later on? I feel like there are so many options that I am lost. 

Any advice/insight is appreciated.

Thank you in advance guys.
