Centerview vs Morgan Stanley

Got both offers for 2023 Summer Analyst Investment Banking. CVP pays a lot more but seems too good to be true. I see people leaving and going to PE and taking a pay cut. If I chose MS I would try to go to a Mega Fund PE.

Would PE pay more in the long-run (all in) than CVP? Is it a marginal difference where I should take MS for the brand name and prestige? Any advice helps!
Thanks
