Advice for career on M&A/PE

Hey guys, I´m a finance student in my last college year and I seek some advice on how to conduct my career successfully.

I would like to develop my career on IB, in areas such as M&A or PE. My academic background is quite strong so that is something I´m not worried about but right now I´m considering taking an internship to combine with my last college year.

I got an interesting offer from the brokerage and markets division of a well known bank, but I´m not sure whether it will help to drive my career towards my objective. I must say that taking an internship directly on M&A or PE while studying and attending college during nights is practically not feasible due to the large working hours of these type of departments, given so, I thought some knowledge on markets and general experience with securities and investors may look good on my CV. Let me know what you think!
