Weaker internship this summer or no internship?

Previously interned in redact, and redact roles. Seeking PE or IB opportunities, but I understand it's not very likely for me to get one this summer. So should I go for a weaker internship this summer or should I rather do summer school and focus on 2021 SA recruitment?

 

2020 IB internship recruiting has long passed. Its now just a competition to see whose internship doesn’t get cancelled in the current climate.

2021 recruiting has started/is starting fairly soon at most banks and that should get all your attention.

Try to find an internship that’s finance/consulting related or technical at whatever company will hire you for this summer. I wouldn’t get my hopes up, already had my shit cancelled.
