Hey guys, I am in sort of a difficult situation here, hope you can give me some advice.

For the last six months, I have been interning at a good regional bank in greater china (non BB), and now I have the chance to intern with a good consulting firm (think MBB), is it worth taking? I mean, if I take the consulting job, would that seem a little unusual since I already have experiences in banking? from banking internship to consulting internship, then for a FT BB position, does this make sense?

Looking for your blunt reply. Thanks.
