Internship choice: PWM vs Israeli VC vs JPMorgan AM

So I'm an incoming sophomore at a semi-target school majoring in applied math. I'm deciding between three internships for next summer (2020):

-PWM internship at smaller firm in NYC suburb, deals mostly with ultra high net worth clients
-Venture Capital internship in Israel, would be with a high-tech incubator and VC fund
-JPMorgan asset management internship, have not been offered this yet but am in the process of interviewing

Already have offers at the first two. Right now I'm leaning towards the VC in Israel since it's buyside experience but the other two seem really appealing and useful as well, especially since they're in the U.S.

Any advice?

 

I'd do Israel. Did you get it through Onward or Excel? Or just on your own? Pretty cool opportunity and you get to live abroad for the summer so I'd jump on it. If you're recruiting for banking PWM is very average, won't jump out, but being close to NY you can schedule coffee chats which can be incredibly helpful. Personally I would do VC>AM>PWM.
