Hi All, I'm lucky enough to have been accepted onto some SIPs for 2023...however the dates mean that I can't do them all, leaving me with 2 options. Option 1 is an 11 week internship with a Tier 1 corporate firm and Option 2 is to do internships of 4 weeks each at 2 other firms (also both Tier 1 corporate) - all 3 come with a guaranteed TC interview.
My instinct is to go for Option 2 to double my chances, however it also feels like a mistake to turn down the 11-week option as I've heard that such a long SIP will almost certainly lead to a TC? If anyone has advice on what the best option to secure a TC might be I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Firstly, congratulations on receiving three offers! What have you heard in regards to the conversion rate for the other two firms?
