Any advice? I have offers for a MM IB internship and a BB ( think Barclays, UBS, Citi) S&T internship as a sophomore for this coming summer in NYC. I want to work in IB after college. Would the S&T BB experience be useful for a Junior year IB offer at a BB? I would assume my IB experience would count more but would I be missing out on networking opportunities at the BB?

If you want to do IB, take the IB position. Any amount of "networking opportunities" you would be missing at BB are insignificant compared to the actual experience/resume building youll get from actually working in IB.
Higher tier or lower tier MM (out of simple curiosity)? If you want to work in IB I would definitely take the MM IB.
A sophomore IB internship is very very rare and will give you a huge leg up for BB SA recruiting next summer. I wouldn't pass it up. Puts you in the 1% of applicants for SA. And you really don't need to be concerned that you're at a MM instead of BB. The BB won't care..
High tier MM. I am leaning towards the IB internship as it is a well structured program for the interns and I have heard sophomores also get actual work.
MM IB for sure
