Boutique IB internship vs. Fortune 100 Company internship

I'm currently a freshman at a target school debating on whether or not to take a Summer 2025 offer for a boutique investment bank (mostly a co-manger on deals) or a business/operations internship at a very well-known Fortune 100 company. The Fortune 100 company pays significantly more per hour, but not very related to finance. Any thoughts?
