JPM, UBS, or PIMCO?

I currently have three offers for this summer, Wholesale Payments at JP Morgan, Public Finance Investment Banking at UBS, and Account Analyst (aka a general alternative investments intern) at PIMCO. My number one concern is not necessarily working in investment banking, rather I want to intern somewhere that will give me a variety of skills and leave a lot of doors left open in terms of exit opportunities. Since I am not 100% certain in what I want to do, I want to leave myself with options. Which of these three internships do you believe will allow me to do that?

 

Could you please explain why you think so? I was leaning towards JP Morgan given the size and name of the firm, and I thought that Public Finance would give me a limited skill set but I would love to know why you think UBS is a stronger choice. 

 

Public finance IB is still IB, which is just a much better career path than the role at JP, which opens far fewer doors down the road.
