Does length of an internship matter eg 6 vs 8 vs 10+ weeks

Rising junior looking to get an internship for sophomore summer, networking with & doing research on different funds, MM, PE, fintech, etc firms. End goal is something that looks good when recruiting next semester (spring 2022) for IB junior summer. Role doesn't really matter, although ideally IB summer analyst, there's also Corp dev, PE, equity research, AM roles available.Something I've noticed is that internship durations vary. Is it bad to work only for 6 weeks even if it's related to IB like M&A, corporate dev, or should I aim for something like 8/10 weeks?
