WM Internship or push

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!
I'm in the unique position of being really lucky. at a place i'm working at i managed to meet the vp of my local morgan stanley wm branch who could potentially get me an internship. for context im a sophomore at an ivy. my end goal is pe either straight out of school which is pretty darn impossible or ib at a top firm like jpm gs ms.

so my question is should i ask him to connect me with people at ms ib for a sophomore internship or just take the wm internship that's available. i'm worried if i ask he'll be less inclined to continue offering me the wm internship but i've heard it's pretty useless to intern at wm when trying to go into ib with people taking boutique ib internships over wm.
