Going into IB vs. CorpDev 1 year out of college

I need some advice....
I am currently working at a MM firm down in florida and am currently in a rotational program. I have two offers: 1) IB in our firm's boston office 2) corporate development at the HQ office. I ultimately want to break into the health / wellness sector on the corporate side and possibly start my own company..

in your honest opinions, what would be the best path / make the most sense at age 23? I am in a banking rotation now (for 4 months) and can't stand working past 10pm, but I also don't want to pass up a banking offer if its really going to jumpstart my career. SOS help!!!

Thanks much monkeys!
