Is it fine to pursue something for '26 if you have something for '27?

Asking because I genuinely dont know. I have an offer for Summer 27 (my junior year summer) but nothing for this summer (sophomore year summer). I could really use some income this summer. Is it fine to recruit for smaller firms, general finance/accounting related roles at large corps?
