Citi IB Summer Analyst (NYC) vs Bain ACI

I have offers for both. I'm not sure whether I really want to pursue investment banking post-college; however, I'm willing to do it next summer to see whether it's really something I would like to put myself through. I know that it's probably easier to go from Citi IB SA --> Bain FT than it is to go from Bain ACI --> Citi IB FT, but I would appreciate more thoughts on this.
