Two more months internship in DCM or a new internship in a small HF

I have already finished a summer internship in DCM of a top tier commercial banks. Then I was offered another two more months there as an intern.

On the other hand, I also get an internship in a small AM with only two persons. They said they are HF, maybe they also take short position...

The good side for DCM is the expanding business which means high possibility to get a formal position; and I can improve my personality. But the downside is that I am some kind of academic guy and do not like those tedious tasks that DCM guys undertake.

The good side for AM is that I can do what I am adept at, i.e. analyzing and programming; and gain exposure to the market and investment. The down side is that the AM is newly established and there is too much uncertainty there and the scale may be so small.....only two persons.....but both with a lot of experience...

I also wonder the possibility of being a DCM guy first and then quit for another Master in a top tier school in America or Europe (my Bachelor Degree is from a non-target university but I have MFE degree from HKUST) and meanwhile prepare CFA and at last transfer to the buy side.

I cannot make up my mind which to choose and desperately need your help.
