Take two Off-Cycle internships or stay with one?

Hi,

As the title says, I have signed an offer for a internship in IB (Corporate finance) for late October - late December. The bank has a great brand and I know it will look great on my resume and give me interviews for summer 2023.  

I am also currently waiting for another bank to get back to me regarding an internship August - October, also in corporate finance. The bank is legit, however they are not famous at all for their IBD and will most likely get overlooked on my resume compared to the first bank. And I will have to skip the entire semester.


With this as a background, would you value the experience and do both internships or would you turn down the second one?

Assuming you are early in your career, any experience is good but you have many offers so I guess you can be picky. 

Would personally take both of the internship (assuming GPA won't fall too much). Also, might be true that it will give you looks for summer 2023 but summer application starts in July / August and you will be basing your CV on merit in the future which in my opinion might not go that well depending on who interviews.
