Where should I be?

I’m a sophomore finance major at a non-target. For reference I have a 3.6 gpa, I’m a current FP&A intern, am part of a selective IB club which works with real clients as a mini investment bank, and have other miscellaneous M&A research experience. Should I be looking at lower to middle market banks, or should I even be considering IB?
