need advice - summer '24 BB offer (renege?)

rising junior at target. recently signed an offer from BB, but in an extremely undesirable group (based off of WSO, seems most people lateral to a different group if they can, start over on analyst track, and then try PE). not sure what to do – keep recruiting for summer '24 and renege? recruit consulting (and if land MBB offer) renege, and re-recruit finance for FT? have heard of networking in SA summer to change groups within same bank, but not sure what this actually looks like in practice. 

end goal is specific niche of finance that is expected to grow over next 10 years (biotech, energy transition, etc). do NOT want to go to b-school to get into this niche

Just do the internship and if it’s really that bad rerecruit FT. In this environment I wouldn’t renege unless you could secure another offer of the same or higher caliber. However most firms are wrapping up so not sure how likely a BB tier offer is at this point. At the end of the day don’t forget that this forum trolls 83% of the time and love to be dramatic and complain so take what you hear about your “undesirable” group with a grain of salt. Someone’s bad might be your ideal as well
