Is it okay to accept an SA 2023 offer for a different bank when you have a SA 2022 internship that has the option to be extended to 2023?

So in my freshman year I was lucky enough to land an IBD Summer Analyst 2022 position at a BB which has an option within the contract to lead to a IBD SA 2023 internship. It is not guaranteed (will only get second internship if I complete the first one successfully), the contract is "at will", and there is an expectation to do both summers (which I take as ambiguous language). Is it okay if I chose to re-recruit for another 2023 IBD SA position (this time at an EB) and have accepted this offer considering I already had this option from my first internship? 

 

Take the offer at the EB for 2023.

You don’t owe anyone, especially a corporation, anything since the second term isn’t guaranteed.

It’s better to have a 2023 opportunity lined up now than leave things up to chance.
