Time Sensitive - Should I accept commercial banking internship offer

Hey everyone,

I just got an offer to do a commercial banking internship at a very reputable regional bank. I also have internship experience in IB and Consulting. I ultimately want to end up working in IR at a PE firm, so I am wondering if accepting this offer will ruin my chances at that career. Please let me know. Thanks!
