Need Input on current situation

Hi there,

So I'm currently a senior at a major non target in the west coast and have recently just got offered an internship position at a boutique IB that operates in a niche vertical. The MD at the firm has stated that there is a possibility of extending the internship date & even a FT role by August.

Given that I'm graduating this June, should I continue this internship even after the graduation date while looking for FT roles? My plan is to do 3 months at the firm & then springboard to a more reputable regional boutique for FT.

Thanks again.
