BDC or Corporate Banking?

Just wanted some insight about two offers I have for Summer 2022. I have an offer for corporate banking at a super-regional bank and an analyst role at a small BDC. Both positions are in Texas. My eventual goal would be to end up in IB or CB at a BB, and am not sure which of these would set me up better. The BDC has very strong deal flow and is paying far more (~$42/hr given 40 hr work week compared to $25/hr). The bank has a bigger name though, which might be helpful for my resume? 

A little lost so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
