Investment Ops. for Sophomore Summer?

I got an investment ops offer at a solid AM for summer 2026 and am recruiting for IB SA 2027, I know ops isn't transferable to IB but should I still put on resume ahead of IB recruiting? Also waiting to hear back from a PM internship and a F500 Corp fin internship, not sure which 1 out of the 3 to take if I get either of those. Obv going to take the ops role if I have nothing else for Summer 2026
