Am I a moron for continuing to recruit for 2023 IB SA?
I am not 100% sure what I want to do with my life - Energy trading or IB.
I have a crude trading internship lined up at a major this summer, and my prospects in the industry seem good for next summer (knock on wood), given I feel confident about a superday I just wrapped up at a certain Australian BB for comm trading. If I get the offer (big if), would I be a fucking idiot if I don't take it? I am also recruiting for 2023 natural resources / energy IB. Am I a moron for doing so? I know IB typically pays more off the jump, but it seems like energy traders can crack 7 fig bonuses by 30 (given right place right time). Both are quite interesting to me, but I haven't even gotten a superday for IB yet.
Thanks in advance, I literally just don't know what to do with my life.

You are doing well. Not as clueless as you think you may be. Assuming you secure the energy gig for 2023, you have locked in one career option. At that stage you can choose to continue recruiting for commodities IB or give it a rest. As for choosing one over the other, again, assuming you have both offers, you can make a better decision by networking with people currently employed in those roles at firms of interest to you.
Thanks for the response. My major qualm is that one path looks bright, and I've barely interviewed for the other path. Would it make more sense to devote all of my efforts to trading?
I would focus on securing an offer first before expending cycles on expanding options.
