Need Solid Advice on Possible Internship

Hi Monkeys,

I greatly am in need of solid advice! I am a rising junior and have a couple of fall IB internships lined up at no name boutiques in the west region. In this summer I did an m&a internship at big4 in the states and am totally confused whether or not these fall internships will add any value to my resume.

The goal is IB SA at BB or elite boutique next summer. My background: Semi-target, have decent GPA and have been networking extremely hard.

Those who have experience in recruiting or interviewing please help me out if i will be a better candidate with or without these no name. Should I rather do these internships or just focus on getting my grades up (GPA already above 3.5). Does the no name boutique actually reduce the value of my previous ib internship?

Totally confused and need some enlightenment.

as long as the boutiques are going to let you do "real work", I think it should be fine. having an experience is better than doing nothing at all.
