Corp Finance Internship vs. PB?

Hey guys, I’m a current intern in Corpfin at a Fortune500 working in IR/CorpDev this summer as a sophomore and really have enjoyed the work I’ve been doing thus far especially helping out with Q2 earnings prep. However, I just got an offer for 2025 summer analyst position at a BB Global PB in alternative investments group. So, I was wondering: what should I try to pursue to set myself up for an optimal career growth trajectory? I think I might want to work for a HF, Long only AM, or VC down the line, but have also found CorpDev/IR quite interesting and like my team a lot. Would appreciate your perspectives. Thanks,
