Lining Resume - What to Do Over the Summer?

Hi Y'all,

I'm a first year at a target school and I'm trying to figure out how to best position myself next year for IB recruiting. Currently working this summer at a PE firm and doing very minimal data analysis work at a start-up. I have lots of free time and I wanted to add something else to occupy my time - is it most impactful to expand my role at the start-up, ask Professors to do M&A research, or try to find some more work, maybe at a search fund?

Thanks!
