IB Risk Management at JPMC or B4 Advisory at KPMG?

Where’s a better place to start a career, Advisory at KPMG or Investment Bank risk management (credit or market) at JPMC?

Needing some insight on which internship path to take as my final internship before graduating college. I’m currently interning at KPMG in a rotational program. The choice would be to return to KPMG in a specific service network or go to IB Risk at JPMC. 

Not too sure where I want to go with my career but want to start in the best place I can. That being said, I’m not wanting to work 80-100 hours. I know that I can always change routes when applying for full-time roles after graduation. 

Should note that the JPMC risk position compensation will be at $90K plus a $10k sign-on bonus while the KPMG advisory position would probably be around $70-85K ish, not sure about sign-on given recent layoffs.

I should say that the areas in Advisory I’m interested in are FDD (less likely to land this role), Transformation Delivery (change management interests me), Forensics, and Strategy (but unlikely the position will be available). I'm not pursuing a CPA
