Baird PCM IB vs Citizens Industry Coverage IB?

Hey guys, Looking for advice here, have these two options for SA 2026 and am wondering what is better in terms of long term opportunities.

I am interested in PE, wondering if anyone here has any input on these groups.

Thank you

Thanks man. Do you think that the debt/structured equity focus of the PCM team would pigeonhole me for classic PE, or a potential EB/BB lateral post internship? Citizens is worse overall but thinking maybe the industry experience and M&A advisory would be more transferable.
