Got an offer but don’t know what to do!

I am currently actively recruiting for FT IB and got a few promising leads. I had multiple relevant internships in the past. However, today, I received an offer for a finance administrative role at a real estate services company. The role is 30 to 40 hours per week and will leave me with less time to spend on my networking, recruiting, and interviewing obligations. In addition, I don’t know if accepting this role will make it harder for me to pivot to IB and explain why I want to make the career move. This role is a temporary role that lasts for 3 months. I am not in a position where I absolutely need to make money at the current moment, but it would be nice to make some extra cash. What do you think I should do?
