Early Career Options/how to approach them (semi-target student)

Yesterday, I received a sophomore BB IBD summer analyst offer for summer 2021 (think DB/UBS/BarCap). I know I need to prepare to add value from day 1 and think about crushing it in my time there, but certain industries require early networking. Since I'll have that experience on my resume, where can I go from there for junior year internships and full-time offers? For example, is PE/Tech on the horizon (or other options such as moving to a better firm)? How can I parlay my experience? Please let me know what I should be thinking about and other similar past examples y'all know of. Thanks!
