Hmm...BB(B) internship for brand name?

So, I already have a nice little offer for internship at a local boutique, CorpFin, and I have just been networking.

However, today at my university board popped up an announcement that JPM is looking for a summer intern in the Sales Credit and Rates. That is certainly not what I am interested in, and infact I'd rather work on M&A at the unknown boutique....

...

However a damned worm has been gnawing me for the last 5 hours. Am I right about that? I am certainly not sure that they would take me, but let's just assume that they do. Is it worth it, having a sales internship at jpm when you are applying for a full time m&a position? I would not be really motivated to do that kind of internship, but I will gladly work my ass over it if I think that it gives me better chances than the other one (still not accepted, as I have a far deadline).

Thoughts, ideas, insults?

 

if you're a junior take the corpfin one because it will be more relevant for full time positions. if you're anything else (esp. if you're a freshman) take the JPM one, which sounds pretty sick and front office. you'd definitely snag up a lot of junior year interviews with jpm one your resume, plus you get to try something new. maybe you'll end up loving the markets and not want to do banking
