Goldman AM Controller Vs. E&Y Capital Markets Advisory

I really need your input. I'm an international student, a junior, at a non-target school that had an audit internship at a big 4 firm for the summer and a BB in financial control, BO derivative trade support, right now, till april. Next summer, a BB (Goldman) offered me a position in their Asset Management controller position, dealing directly with hedge funds, and so did the big 4 firm (EY), in their capital markets advisory practice, both in NYC. Which path increases your odds of getting into an IB front office role in M&A or Equity Capital Markets? Any advice will be appreciated!

Thanks a lot @EagerBeaver, I really appreciate your input! I'm leaning towards that direction as well.
