Need some help deciding offers

I was hoping I could get some advice here so here's the scenario:

I have 2 offers for non finance positions for the summer (large pharma company doing market intelligence and a well known non profit doing data analytics). I also had an interview with Raymond James for a summer research associate position that I will hear the results tomorrow.

If I do not get the position at Raymond James, would it be better to go with one of my other offers or try to find a finance related position?

Keep in mind I am a junior in a five year program aiming towards ER (but any finance position would be good) with work experience doing FP&A at a F500 CPG company and data analytics at a large telecom/media company.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

If your end goal is ER, I would go with the big pharma. You have to think about your future competition for these positions. You'll have a dozen guys from Raymond James applying but if you can find an ER job that focuses on the pharma industry your experience will be pretty unique and a huge plus.
