CS Industrials Vs. BAML Generalist, Associate Summer Internship - Which One?

Hi Guys,

Choosing between two summer internship offers - CS Industrials group vs. BAML Generalist Offer. I am pretty industry group agnostic, just want a good summer experience and ideally good opportunities (internal & external) after summer or in a few years.

Both banks claim good deal flow, are both similarly ranked on the league tables for industrials as well.

People are great at both Banks so its making the decision tougher - any thoughts/ perspectives would be great.

Thanks!
