Should I drop out of my masters?

A current masters student at a target uni (LSE MSc Finance, LBS MiM) with a job lined up at a top BB (GS,MS,JPM). Would it be more valuable to complete an off-cycle internship in PE rather than the masters, since I already have a job lined up and my ultimate objective is PE?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
