CRA exit opportunities as intern [Unusual Background]

So I have a summer internship as a Junior Quant in their fixed income valuation department in one of the big 3 rating agencies.My Major is CS/Math and I don't have much background in finance besides taking a fin statement analysis course which helped me answer some of the interview questions. Anyways,I am kinda clueless about what I want to do in the future,hopefully at some point I want to be a VC or making partner in a VC firm or be in a client facing role (anything that does not put me in a cubicle writing code or whatever),so I was wondering about a few things ?

  1. What should I be looking to gain from the experience ? 2.What kind of roles should I see myself doing with a CS degree and working in CRA as someone who is a Jack of all trades and master of none kind of thing ?

Also I did not get a SWE internship in Google,Amazon and those places so don't start asking why I didn't choose a tech company internship over this.
