Sophomore summer advice needed

Just finished recruiting for a 2026 SA position at a bank I am happy with. However, don't have anything lined up for the sophomore summer, other than a boutique internship I've been doing for months. I know this is early, but I just want to do as many things as possible. What kind of role would best position myself for PE after banking, and how do people find these roles? Might just chill otherwise. Thanks!
