Sophomore internship tough situation

Sophomore semi-target. Midwest. Freshman summer did PWM. For this sophomore summer I have a couple interviews over break with F500 companies for corporate finance internships. These would take place in my hometown. A family friend lives in SoCal and wants me to go intern with him at his equipment financing company. It would be awesome to get away for a summer but wanted to ask you guys if this move would fuck me over for recruiting/ would I be able to market equipment financing for IB. Thanks guys
