Freshman Restructuring internship ---> IB?

I have a corporate restructuring and insolvency internship this summer as a freshman at a big 4 (I have good connections and basically the partner is doing me a favor).

It is not ideal but it is an internship and experience.

Next summer, I will be looking to get an IB internship. Do you think this will help? I know PWM is a "target" freshman or sophomore internship but now this is not an option for me. Any feedback is appreciated.
