Was in a similar position, took the Fidelity corp fin offer. So you could definitely make things work from fidelity given enough networking.Looking back though it probably would have helped me in getting a boutique IB offer instead. While fidelity is a great brand name and got some compliments I don't think there is a substitute for an IB internship regardless of size. So if you know you want IB and are feeling optimistic about your odds I'd say grind for a botique this summer but it can be done either way.
Thank you for the insight
