Confused about my career

Hi, I'm a second year Econ student at a respected UK uni. I've been fortunate enough to get offers from Barclays finance (middle office) 9 weeks and 38k and KPMG audit outside of London but decent city 4 weeks 18.5k.

I want a career in financial advisory or wealth management but was unable to secure an internship so I have to pick from what I have.

Barclays looks better as 9 week so more time to learn and more money but I'm trying to figure out which will be better on my CV when applying for grad roles in financial advisory or wealth management. And just in general what's the best way to brake into that industry for someone in my position?

Thanks guys
