Accept offer or continue looking for an IB internship?

Hi, 

I am a 3rd year student and just recieved an internship offer in the M&A department in one of the biggest public industrial firms in my country. However, I have not been able to secure an IB internship at an Investment bank. That was my goal. 
 

My question is should I take it? I have previously had an internship and worked part time in almost 2 years as an bond analyst, next to my studies. Would taking this internship increase my chances at doing IB at an investment bank? 
 

Thoughts? Is this offer any good if you wanna pursue a carreer in IB/PE? 
 

Internships at investment Banks in my country is very hard to get, as they recruit mostly 4th and 5th year Master students. (Which is the norm in my country). However, It should still be possible, if you have some luck.
