Sophomore Summer: Take F20 Corp Strat Offer?

Current sophomore at a target — recently received a 2021 internship offer in corporate strategy at an F20 company. Assuming I cannot get any of my other processes in LMM IB/PE accelerated, will this role put me in a competitive position for junior summer recruiting?

Alternatively, should I keep recruiting in the hopes of landing something on the buy/sell-side, given a lot of smaller shops don't open up applications till the New Year?

Thanks so much for your help!
