Big 4 FDD Internship

Hey guys, so I'm a student studying outside the US (different country) and although I tried pretty hard to get an IB or even CB position, after lots of recruiting I landed a Big 4 FDD junior internship in the U.S. I know this is the group that leaves you with the best exits to IB (of all the big 4 groups) so I am glad I was able to get it. Considering that I live in a different country and thus my university is not recognized in the U.S at all, would this be a step in the right direction? I'm fairly confident that I should accept this offer, maybe recruit for FT IB in the summer of my internship (not sure if anyone knows how possible that is) or even go FT to the group for a year after uni and make the jump. Was wondering what people's thoughts were - take the internship or keep recruiting for CB/IB positions at a boutique or something (which is kind of hard from an out-of-country standpoint).


TLDR; Is accepting a Big 4 FDD internship a bad decision if that's the best I could get
