Back office nightmare

Hi guys!
Just finished my summer internship (after second year of bachelor) in securities ops at GS. Very cool brand name but Back office has been a nightmare for me: 0 motivation, 0 interesting things and a complete waste of time since I didn’t learn anything. It was mentally limiting for me. I spent my time watching videos such as “how to get into private equity” “how to get into consulting”.

For sure I will not work anymore in any kind of back office, I would rather stay unemployed.

My plans are to get into a target MiM, then , in the short term, try to get into consulting and in the long term Private equity.

Do you guys is a good/feasible plan?
Any advice of any kind?
