Does Title Matter?

Hello all, I am a freshman who just received my offer letter from a boutique bank that I plan on interning at over the summer. This is a European bank, so I will be spending the summer abroad. I’m obviously super grateful and excited for the opportunity, however my only concern is my title. I am a “Corporate Finance Intern”, which is odd because they have explicitly told me that I will be working on both debt and strategic advisory.

I’m wondering how important the title difference is from say, “Investment Banking/Advisory Intern”? Will this impact my recruiting chances next Fall/Winter? How will recruiters view this internship? Is a title change worth negotiating?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
