Accept or Decline Data Science Position

Hi everyone, for background, I'm a non-diverse sophomore at a top 3 target school looking for summer 2021 internships.

I just received a return offer from Fidelity to work as a data science intern and need to accept/decline in the next 2 weeks. I would rather work corporate finance there, but that department gives offers out starting January with no guarantees. 

Optimally though, I would work at a new firm in a financial role but I have no offers / interviews anywhere yet.

With that being said, I was wondering what y'alls takes are. Should I accept Fidelity and be done with 2021 recruiting so I can focus on 2022 or should I wait for the chance of a different opportunity?
