Shd I take the offer from Lazard?

The offer is a semester long, given that my university program allow me to take one gap semester for intern only. That means I cannot intern in other place even if I got the offer from BBs. Here is the problem. I am applying for the semester intern in some BBs, which will be started in Jan of 2021, the current process is still on Video interview. I cannot make the decision after knowing my application result in those BBs. The offer from Lazard starting in this September. I would like to know if the grad job recruiter would treat Lazard intern as same level as BBs intern? As I am aiming to break into BBs

Any recommendation or advice for me? I am not sure about the career prospect in BBs and Boutique too, if let say, I want to be relocate to Europe after few years. Please feel free to share anything abt Lazard and is it worth to take the offer. Thanks monkeyss!!!!
