Boutique IB vs Micro HF (100MM - 200 MM)

I'm a Sophomore with an offer from a boutique IB firm to intern this Spring and Summer. From the interview, its deal-flow sounds pretty good but it specializes in $50 - $100 MM deals. It is a pretty reputable firm that has been around for 15+ years.

I also have an offer from an HF that specializes in the TMT sector but it only manages around $100 - $200MM. It is a newer firm, around 1-year-old and was founded by a former PM at a top 10 HF.


Currently debating which offer to take, and I need to let them know by the end of December. I want to do Investment Banking for around 2 - 3 years and then Hedge Fund / Fund Management. Which offer do you think I should take?
