Spin This In A Positive Light?

junior at a non target, but well respected school. currently only have a fund accounting summer offer at a very well known asset manager (think something like Fidelity). my goal is investment management front office after graduation.

how would you deal with this situation?
a) accept it and try to network/show up to the office early and try to help the analysts?
b) looking for another internship is a little risky because i don't want to end up with nothing

additional info: i have fall-spring boutique IB internship but i realized i don't want IB.

Stoolie, I was in a similar situation last summer and went with a) ! 1st one in the office and last out every day. (which wasn't hard to do since most people wouldn't go over 10hours a day)

I'm glad I did it, it left a great impression with many analysts and opened doors for me this year!

Best of luck mate!
