Valuation Internship to investment banking?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently a sophomore at a semi-target looking at summer jobs. I recently received an internship offer from one of the largest Valuation services firms. However, I was wondering if this would help or hurt me when I try to apply to the SA programs at BB IBs in the coming months. I have one prior IB internship that I am currently working as well as a prior VC internship.

Would leaving my IB role to pursue a valuation role be a bad look to these large banks?

Thanks
