How to go from S&T to IB?

i needed some advice on my situation. 

I go to a non target currently a junior and have (3.0-3.4 gpa). I had countless interviews for solid IB firms which was acquired through networking (SA 2021), however i got rejected by them all. I recently accepted a S&T position for SA 2021 (because i had no other options ) at a international bank which i am truly grateful for!! But my end goal is IB (at any firm)

1) i can recruit for FT IB after but how how hard would that be knowing i dont have any prior IB experience just have my networks. 

2) Should i take a extra semester, and recruit again if so what minor would look good

Need some advice, anything would be helpful thank you!
