What to do during my summer internship

I'm a current sophomore at a non-target who pretty much struck out on all the good investment banks for 2024 but have an internship in the levfin ops group of a well known PE firm this summer. Considering I'm also interviewing at some lower prestige banks(key bank/TD/cascadia) as well as not well known PE firms (5B AUM), how do you think I should approach getting/signing offers at these places vs hoping to get a return offer at my PE firm in a different group (PE/Levfin,etc.).
