Advice on multiple fall internship offers

Hey guys, I posted earlier this week about help finding boutique IB internships and in the time since I've gotten a no-name boutique verbal offer as well as an offer from a 401k advisory firm (one of the largest in the US). The 401k advisory firm wants to fast track me to start next week but I am feeling hesitant and want to see how the boutique offer plays out. Any advice on how to play this and which one should I focus on getting an internship from? I'd like to go into IB in the long term FWIW (I'm currently a sophomore)

 

I would say go with the name brand. You can always do something else in the spring

 

The issue is that it’s hardly a name brand it’s just one of the largest companies that caters exclusively to 401k advisory (50$ B AUM). I wouldn’t be getting any modeling experience either.

 

Can you give some examples of the firm? I'm not that familiar with 401K advisory as a niche
