PIMCO or MBB

A first-year MBA student fortunate enough to receive summer internships at one of the MBB and at PIMCO in their account management team. I have a mix of S&T and strategy experience at a tech firm pre MBA and was hoping to move back to financial services.

Thoughts on which one will give better comps, career path and exits in future? I know PIMCO is an elite firm but unsure if the career path of account management will be less promising vs. an investment role.
