Freshman Summer Internship Dilemma

Hi all,

I’m a freshman at a semi-target and was wondering what options I have for this summer. The landscape for banking seems to be changing every year so I wanted to ask for some advice off here. I got an offer for a real estate development firm where I would be doing excel work, leasing, acquisitions, and many projects. BUT it’s not what you would technically call a finance internship such as PWM.

I’ve wanted to explore real estate for a while but ultimately want to do IB.

Should I just try to find a PE/VC/IB internship by cold emailing or just take this offer and take advantage of what I have?
