Mutual Fund Offer

I'm a sophomore at a target, I got offered a equity mutual fund, that runs about $2bn in their family of funds, internship for the summer. The fund I would work for would be about $500M-1BN.

My goal is to get a BB/elite boutique IBD internship next summer, I was wondering if it's a good idea to take the position or try to find a boutique bank to take me in?

Take it for now. Learn as much as you can (i.e. modeling and such). This should position you well for next summer
