Is a finance internship at a consumer goods company good for IBD?

Hi guys,

So I didn't manage to get an internship this year in IBD or S&T.

I might get an offer from a well-known consumer goods company in the finance department. It is actually well paid but I'm afraid it will ruin all my chances for next year. Opinions? Should I just go for it or get a "more finance" focused internship?

Hi kololo1, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
