Consulting sophomore summer to IB junior summer??

I'm currently a sophomore at a semi-target in Canada and I have the opportunity to pursue a sophomore summer internship at McKinsey. I was wondering how that would look on a resume to IB recruiters and how it would affect my recruiting process for junior year summer in IB. My primary concern is if having a consulting internship on my resume would cause my commitment to finance to be questioned; and if so, potentially how big of a roadblock this could be. For context, I've already completed an IB internship freshman summer at a fairly large Asian bank.

You’ll have no issue. In fact, most don’t have big names on their resume for sophomore summer.
