M&A Intern at small IB with 4 team members - credible?

All suggestions are very appreciated and solicited! I'm 7 months in as an Analyst at Goldman Sachs Risk Department in Poland. Currently having an offer from small Investment Bank in the city that does 5mln - 20mln eur deals. They are just 4 people in the team and I am wondering if I should really leave GS for this M&A 'Internship' role?The smaller IB was upfront that I should not expect the 'hardcore M&A stuff' like big banks and would be working on emailing technology company founders to source new deals, putting together decks and teasers for existing deals in pipeline, and doing some research work on current M&A deals happening in the industry. A little but not a lot of modelling work as seniors would deal with that I am toldIs this going to be credible experience and worth doing? IB has definitely been my aim btw also, I am just 20 yrs old rn
