Internship decision - boutique investment banking vs MBB

I have to choose between these two offers for a summer internship. Investment banking at a TMT boutique or MBB consulting.

Context: I'm 23 years old student currently doing a double masters degree in Europe. I.e. I'm doing two MSc degrees in two target schools. I'm finishing my first MSc this summer and will start the next one in October 2023. This year I haven't been lucky in recruiting (my target was IB/ER hopefully at a BB) but I'm still glad I got the offer I have now. Next year I'm hoping I could get a better recruiting chances; with better school & internship names on my CV, better networking opps, etc. So clearly my aim is to reapply next year. Given the context, which internship makes more sense?

Appreciate your insight.

Edit. I also passed CFA L2
