SA 2020 - BlackRock PAG or Citi Quant Developer?

Hey Guys,

I have the following two offers for the summer: BlackRock Portfolio Analytics Group, Citi ICG-Quantitative Developer.

I am a finance undergraduate, and I am planning to pursue an undergrad in CompSci. Which one would you consider more beneficial from the aspect potential full-time employment? Also, I would highly prefer to move to the UK or to the US to work for a couple of years. (I'm from Central Europe, was born and raised here) - Which one would be better from that aspect?

Thanks for your help.
