Choosing between World Bank and Citibank IB Internship (if I want to recruit for consulting next year)

Hey all,

I'm currently picking between two summer internship offers -- one is an economic research / consultant role at the World Bank, and the other is an M&A role for Citibank. Both roles are for a South American office. Considering that I plan to recruit full time for strategy consulting afterwards, do you have any thoughts on which of these I should take, from the perspective of maximizing future recruiting chances?
