Corporate Finance or Other job?

Hey guys, I'm currently a junior at a top 10 public business school with a 3.9/4.0 GPA. I am pursuing banking with a minor in accounting but I don't have that much experience. This spring I interned at a small boutique and currently I have an internship offer lined up for corporate finance at a Fortune Global 500 company. My question is whether I should accept the corporate finance offer, which is mainly budgeting and forecasting (accounting stuff), or whether I should get a small finance related role locally that will probably give me more experience closer to banking. I know it is extremely late in the spring semester, but this is what I am left with. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
