VC vs. MBB for post-undergrad role

I am curious whether MBB or VC (investing role) would be a better idea for an ft job post undergrad. Hoping to go into start-ups, tech product, or entrepreneurship after this position. Wondering which would be better considering that specific exit opp (both seem fitting), comp, WLB, etc.

For some context, have interned at a VC fund before and can likely get a return for FT (mid-size, think ~15FTEs, ~$1b AUM). I also have an internship offer from MBB for the summer before junior year. Currently thinking about possibly recruiting for an ft role at a top 10 VC. Hoping for some color for 1) MBB vs this mid-sized VC and 2) MBB vs top 10 VC.


I posted this in the VC forum already but thought I would also post here for some extra insights.
