Top MBA - Summer Associate offer at BB IBD London - Post-MBA Goal is MBB. What to do?

Hi,

I am at a top MBA in Europe. I just received an offer to join a BB in London (non-GS, MS, JPM) as a Summer Associate. My goal post-MBA, however, is to join MBB. Because you don't need to do an internship for MBB, I decided to do a BB internship instead in order to not miss the boat, and at least try it out.

Will doing BB IBD help or hurt my chances for MBB recruiting?

Thanks for the help!
