Boutique ER vs FAANG FLDP Internship

Grateful to have received 2 internship offers for Summer 2023: one at a boutique equity research firm in a tier 3/4 city and an FLDP internship at a FAANG company.

Which one should I take? Not sure exactly what I want to do after graduation, but want to make sure I’m successful in the long term.
