Boutique IB internship in NYC - 2029 grad

Hi everyone,

Got offered to interview at a boutique biotech firm for this fall, but it’s unpaid and I’d have to relocate to NYC. For context, I’m a rising sophomore recruiting for IB SA 2028. Come from a nontarget and have no formal finance internship. Did supply chain at a large restaurant company last summer. Idk if it’s worth the cost since I’ll be losing money technically. School isn’t an issue as I can take a semester off as a co-op. Should I take it?
