Foreign Boutique Internship

Hey everyone,

I’m a freshman at a non-HYP Ivy and I’m interning at a middle-market IB boutique (not a big name) for this summer. I was originally planning to work at the U.S. office, but…

They are actually sending me to Berlin since I know German.

It seems like none of my peers are working abroad this summer, and I’m wondering if there is a reason for that (perhaps a foreign internship hinders chances for an EB/BB SA role later on).

Should I take this offer to work at Berlin, or would it hinder my chances later on?

Thank you for your time and I would appreciate any input.
