International Internship or IA at F500? Help needed

Need some internship advice as a sophomore at a US semitarget pursuing IB. Below are my options

  • Internship in SE Asia at a Startup Accelerator partnered with large firms

  • IA at F500

  • M&A Research at boutique

The first is fully funded and second pays fairly well.

Which would look better for IB?
