Sophomore Summer + Freshman Summer Questions

Hello,

I am an upcoming sophomore at Umich LSA. I intend to go into investment banking or consulting. This summer I reached out to get a PWM internship and while I did get some contacts and made some connections I was told those places were already full. Thus I am working as a business administration intern at a decently sized business ($20 million in annual revenue).

I was wondering how an internship at Fidelity sophomore year would look to junior year IB recruiters? I don't quality for any diversity programs. Would it better to intern at a boutique bank rather than Fidelity?
