Hey guys,
I am a freshman at a non-target and have an SA offer for JPM's Corporate Development Program. It's BO/MO but it's my only opportunity for this summer. Last summer I did PWM at a BB. Should I take it? I really want to get a FO job later on but since this is my first college summer I don't think I'd be pigeonholed as an Ops guy. Thoughts?

not at all. with those two on your resume you would position yourself nicely for next summer. Your only other option at this point would be to network and try to land an offcycle FO gig at a MM bank or boutique
You're a freshman, don't worry, you wont be pigeonholed at this point. Just do something more FO-ish next summer (which you should have no problem getting with that background).
How did you get this offer? Online apps? Networking?
Dude corp dev at JPM is not bad at all for a freshman. I'm curious to hear how you managed to pull this off.
Probably helped a lot that he did PWM at a BB after high school/before freshman year... I did nothing productive that summer (which I think is fairly common).
