Slightly awkward networking call follow-up advice

Currently a 2nd year corporate finance analyst (FP&A/Strategic finance in high growth software), which is my first job out of school (class of 2020). TLDR is I'm trying to leave ASAP and actively looking for buyside or IB positions. 

Last week, one of my colleagues who knows I'm looking to churn passed my resume along to a very senior member of S&T at his ex-BB. Before passing my resume along, my colleague seemed to stress I'm really just looking for BS positions (which isn't true but I only found out after the call). We hit it off and he offered to keep my resume close for any buyside positions that come along. I didn't with to over ask on the call so decided to negate telling him that I'm also more than interested in position in investment banking (his BB would be a top pick for me). Regretting not speaking up in the moment.

How would you proceed? How can I keep the conversation going? Not sure on timeline, but trying to get in with the class of 2022 AN1's if possible
