Internship debacle

Hey fellas,

So I am a junior trying to position myself for IBD SA in a healthcare coverage group. I took a fall finance/accounting internship @ a national non-profit health org. The job description/what I was told I would be doing was building rev reconciliation models and risk adjusted A/R's. But I am approximately a month in and literally all I have done is backroom-filing. Unrelenting, non-stop filing. I am an unpaid intern and work ~15 hrs a week; didn't sign any paperwork/formal offer letter.

A couple other opportunities came up, including leading an economic public school analysis for a private client via another non-profit, and/or a possible internship at a local boutique IB firm. In all probability, better opportunities than the one I am currently in.

A couple weeks ago (right when I got job) I updated my resume with health org and sent it out to a couple firms via OCR / networking contacts (but I still have to submit internship app thru bank's individual website). Don't necessarily need to include it due to other internships, just worried about how it would be perceived/get back to me. I am not exactly the quitting type (especially after approximately a month) but want to leverage myself well.

What would you guys do?
