Weaker internship this summer or no internship?

Previously interned in redact, and redact roles. Seeking PE or IB opportunities, but I understand it's not very likely for me to get one this summer. So should I go for a weaker internship this summer or should I rather do summer school and focus on 2021 SA recruitment?

2020 IB internship recruiting has long passed. Its now just a competition to see whose internship doesn’t get cancelled in the current climate.

2021 recruiting has started/is starting fairly soon at most banks and that should get all your attention.

Try to find an internship that’s finance/consulting related or technical at whatever company will hire you for this summer. I wouldn’t get my hopes up, already had my shit cancelled.

 

I was just thinking about how it’s gonna fit into my “story” when I’m interviewing for IB/PE. Or you mean I could do something but not necessarily reflect it on my CV.
