Multiple Big 4 Offers - is it possible to negotiate?

I am currently an Undergraduate student and have received an offer for an Assurance traineeship and an internship for Transactions - however, these offers are from different big 4 firms.

Finance is ultimately where I want to work in, so I really want to take up the internship. However, the traineeship is full time for 2 years and they hint at a strong chance for a grad role. I have already accepted the trainee offer because the interview invite and offer for transactions only occurred after the trainee offer, and I had to respond in a period of time.

-is it possible to ask my trainee employer to provide me a chance to do the internship at the other firm? It does seem like a bad look though (despite it being the area I really want to do). If so, how should I ask them? And would asking the HR team about this be appropriate?

-should I forfeit my traineeship and go for the internship? Or stick with it and try to move laterally.

Also, I've been a long-time lurker and just wanted to say that this forum has been huge for my career as a student. Thank you guys.
