Should I decline the accepted summer?

Just a little background. I've had internship at UBS (Equity Research) and Accenture (Research Assistant). One of my former boss recently recommended me to a summer 6-month PE internship at KKR. This is my ultimate goal and I would love to work in PE.

However, I've already accepted a summer internship position at JPM for Operations last December. At the time, I didn't realize how jumping into Operations meant a death sentence. I thought since I'm still a junior, I would have one more internship opportunity and I could apply for my final dream 'FO' job to pursue as my career.

However, after searching through this website, accepting the Operations summer internship would be a death choice, especially since I don't want to remain in BO.

Any advise?
