Strategy& Deal Strategy vs EY Parthenon Summer Internship to break into MBB

I have received offers for both Strat& and EYP for the New York office. 

Compensation wise, Strat& is a lot higher on an hourly basis. Was wondering which had better prestige + better option to break into MBB or PE after graduation

I’d give S& a slight edge in terms of exits to MBB/buyside, although it’s hard to go wrong here. EYP does a lot of DD work, but unless you’re at H or Penn, a lucrative (i.e. MF PE) gig right out of undergrad will be very difficult to find. S& will make it slightly easier to break into MBB post graduation, imo.
