Internship question: IB in a boutique or Asset Management in a big local bank

Hello everyone.

I'm a freshman in a 3-year Economics program in one of the best universities in Eastern Europe. Now, I'm deciding where to go for my summer internhip. I have two summer internship options: 1) IB internship in a small investment fund and 2) Asset Management Internship in a big local bank.
Haven't yet decided what sphere is more appealing to me, however, it seems that AM has more reasonable working hours and i like that (Still intend to work hard, but at least would prefer having some weekends free).
I'm not quite sure what would be more benefecial for my future career. As far as I understood that the borders between AM & IB are a bit blurred today, but AM is more about investments and less powerpoint stuff.

Would be really greatful is someone could explain what would be a better option based on your own experiences.

Thanks in advance
