Worried about post sophomore summer internship

I'm a rising sophomore at a HYPSM school, I initially wanted to do tech and am majoring in CS, but honeslty, I'm interning in the software space right now and don't like it. I've had prior experience in things related to finance (VC) and am hopefully trying to find an IB or PE or HF or Global Markets internship for next summer. I feel super behind my classmates, some of whom already have offers locked up at GS and BAML. Can I still get a big name internship next summer? Any tips on how to make this happen--I'm a bit new to the finance recruiting space. Thank you!

Porro ratione ut non sint. Maxime pariatur beatae modi quis voluptatum nisi. Optio rerum maiores non consequuntur quasi et.

Dolorem nulla voluptas voluptatem ratione aut quis officiis id. Et aut excepturi molestias tempora dolorem. Ab corporis quis hic nisi dolores maiores. Cum consequuntur id porro facilis.
