Boutique Bank Internship or KPMG Advisory?

Hey All,

First of all, this would be international work experience outside the United States. I already have an offer from KPMG in advisory. They have not said where specifically, but seems like it would be Deal advisory. The boutique bank has told me I will get an offer for either Investment Banking or Corporate Finance. Pending their decision, which would look better on my resume? Moreover, which would set me up better for an IB internship next summer in the US?

Edit: Have an offer from UBS Client Advisor Assistant Intern too. Don't like the position much though. Seems like a lot of cold calling from what was explained to me.

Well, it's about 200 employees in their main offices where I would be working at. Name is Prival Bank and it's in Panama. Nothing too big but I'm struggling considering KPMG is a big name and advisory is something I find interesting. However, I feel like I need some IB specific experience. I don't know if it would be valued as much considering it's outside the United States.
