What should I do??

Hello guys,

To put into perspective, Spanish student goes to a target school in Spain, studying economics, aiming to graduate with a 2.1, two international exchanges, one at a top business school in Europe, I am currently in my fourth year out of four - in other words, my last year. Got an internship in risk management at a top IB. Applying for graduate positions in investment banking both in Spain and in the UK. Recently got an offer from a newly created portfolio management firm that is highly quantitative and that acts as a startup - it is agile in its processes - but that is widely known because of its founders - i.e it will involve lots of programming, mainly Python. It is more like private banking than IB. Should I accept the offer? In this sense, would this help my curriculum? If I want to go for a career in IB as an analyst, probably in M&A, I do not know if this would help me since I have done Risk Management and I rejected an offer to continue working there to move to a front office position. Would potential employers appreciate me taking on this position?
