Job advice for breaking into financial engineering

Hey, so I was accepted to be a data science engineer for a research company that specializes in neuroscience. I was desperately looking for finance-related internships this sophomore summer, but I was met with rejection at every end. I’m curious to know that if this will hinder my resume exp if I’m trying to go down the quant route, as it has zero relation to finance. The math, stats, and programming could be similar, but my worry, of course, stems from the non-finance internship fact. Last summer, I participated in a search fund internship, which really didn’t do much to boost my knowledge in finance at all- I guess expect for the fact that I now know about the fenestration market lmao. But yeah, that’s certainly a free option that’s being recommended to me again, but I would learn nothing; it would just be another bit of resume experience that taught me nothing. But maybe internships aren’t supposed to be about learning anything…? I’m entirely unsure, and I’m getting many opinions for declining the DE role, which is why I hope to seek advice here. Anything helps!
