How to spend summer after college graduation?

Just graduated from Arizona State and was lucky enough to get an investment management job at a fairly large European bank, but ideally I would like to pivot into corporate banking as soon as possible. Considering I graduated from a non target with not the best placements in corporate banking, does anyone have any advice on how I could spend the next few months before I start FT to position myself well for CB? Definitely going to start networking more but also interested in many taking some courses to improve my excel skills. Thanks!
