Can't decide between soph internship offers (Equity Research at BB vs IB at a Boutique)
I'm a sophomore at a non-target (3rd year of a 5-year program) ultimately hoping to get into IB through 2020 summer analyst recruiting. I have one PE internship and one BB operations-like internship under my belt.
Today, I received two internship offers for this upcoming summer 2019:
Equity Research Role at a BB in New York (valuable network in NY, front-office role at a great brand name, immensely better pay, better hours. downside is it's not investment banking, and role doesn't allow me to dive deep into companies due to tight deadlines)
Investment Banking Analyst at a small boutique in Boston (would give me banking/transaction experience which I lack, greater responsibility, no housing required as I'm from Boston. downside is if summer analyst recruiting doesn't work out for me, I'm in a weaker position than if I chose the BB)
Which sophomore summer internship would position me better for 2020 SA recruiting? Would greatly appreciate any advice. I'm indecisive as fuck and can't choose between the two.
