VC or Corporate finance

Hey guys I'm a junior with a past IB internship at a local boutique on my resume and I also have a 3.90 as my GPA at a semi-target business school (a lot of people put it as a target school in their lists).

I currently have 2 offers on my plate: a corporate finance internship with a large firm (the job description has a lot of accounting- profit and loss analysis, variance analysis, GAAP compliance, etc.) and an internship at a local early stage and expansion VC firm (200M assets under management; they said I will get a chance to do modeling somewhat and it is a better learning experience in my opinion). I was wondering which offer I should take if I want to pursue investment banking opportunities next year when I am a senior. I'm guessing the VC one but not too sure. I plan to get an internship next fall also to make me more desirable. Any input would be helpful. Thanks

 

My sense is take the VC job. Is it a recognizable name? VC tends to be lauded in this current tech-frenzy environment.

hmm, any big name investments? i'd probably go VC unless the corporate is something like GOOG/AAPL/FB or some tier 1 company in an industry you're interested in for banking
