Need Advice – FT Recruiting With F500 Corporate Finance Internship in My Junior Summer

I'm going to be going to a F500 company this summer to intern in FP&A. I am looking to FT recruit strong for other industries purely for maximizing my comp out of grad. Would love to hear other people's stories who were in similar situations.

What type of industries should I be targeting? I know IBD M&A is tough but I wanted to hear other things such as capital markets or asset management, if FT recruiting for these positions is feasible or not.

I go to a non-target but kind of a semi-target (something along the lines of Fordham Gabelli / PSU Smeal / Rutgers Business) with a 3.7 GPA.

I have past experiences at a search fund my freshman summer, a regional boutique IB my sophomore year, an FP&A internship at an unknown/small startup in NYC, and this current internship at a F400-500 company.
