IB internship or study abroad?

Hi everyone,

I'm a current sophomore and finance major looking at study abroad options for my junior spring (2021). I'm highly interested in studying abroad in Tokyo for a semester; however, the Japanese academic system means that my program would run until mid-July. This will leave me with only 5-6 weeks between the end of the program and the start of senior year, disqualifying me from most IB internships. Will missing junior year internships be a black mark against me, or will I be able to find an offer for after graduation?

If it helps, here are some of my reasons for choosing this study abroad program: 1) Study abroad is a must for me in college; it's why I chose to attend my university. 2) I don't speak Japanese, and want to learn. I already speak fluent French and Spanish, and want to learn a non-Romance language. 3) Japan has an incredibly unique business culture, and I think studying business there will give me relevant industry knowledge. 4) I don't see myself ever being able to live or work in Japan without previous experience, such as this study abroad.

I'm not super well-connected in IB, but have a few contacts at my top firms and attend a target school. I'm also looking to work in boutique and restructuring, if that affects your opinion. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
