Investment Banking Internship - Unpaid - Worth or Not?

Hello Everybody,

Is it worth working for Canaccord Genuity in Dubai as an unpaid summer intern? They do however reimburse living expenses. Is it worth considering this option considering that the people working in the office are extremely bright and the experience is great?

Thank you
