Choosing Between Boutique IB vs. Corporate Finance for Sophomore Summer Internship

I'm a Sophomore at a Semi-Target School in the Boston Area hoping to break into IB and secure a BB/EB/MM offer for summer 2021. For this upcoming summer, I have 2 options for internships:

  1. Investment Banking Analyst at a small boutique in my hometown (Pros: greater responsibility, more relevant experience, senior partners have BB experience, don't have to pay for housing. Cons: Bank only does deals in one industry, not a structured internship program, working for just above minimum wage)

  2. Corporate Finance at a F500 company in Boston (Pros: greater opportunity to expand network, great brand name, better pay. Cons: work isn't as relevant to the career I want to pursue compared to IB internship)

Obviously I'd be very fortunate to have either of these opportunities, but I would love any advice on which internships would best position myself for IB recruiting in my Junior Year. Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to provide feedback.

 

Should I take unpaid IB internship if I have no other offers atm? also sophomore
