'28 grad, studying STEM degree at target university (Oxbridge). Just completed spring week in IB at top MM firm and received return offer for summer 2027. However, I really did not love the culture there and think I would prefer a role in S&T (which firm does not offer as an internship). Any advice on declining a return offer or accepting then applying to other opportunities?Thanks
