IB SA when you know you’re not going for the return offer

Hi guys I’m starting an IB SA at a BB in a few weeks. The thing is, I know now I’m not gonna take a return offer if I get one. Has anyone else been in a situation like this? I don’t want to coast or under perform this summer but I also don’t wanna push myself to the edge when I know this isn’t something I want to do long-term. if you’re wondering why I’m not going for a return, it’s because my career aspirations have changed since last June when I signed the offer.
