Should I still go through recruiting?

Hey all, as the title says I am unsure if I should continue with regular IB recruiting. This summer (Sophomore summer) I will interning at an upper BB bank in NYC and it guarantees  an interview at the end of it. Where I'm stuck is that this bank is my favorite and would be my #1 choice. I don't know if it is worth going through the whole normal recruiting process where even if I would get an offer for Junior summer from another bank, I would rather work where I am interning this summer.

Hi bulgeorbustybust, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
