Leveraged Finance vs ECM

Hello!

My goal is to work in M&A but unfortunately I only was able to secure an internship in Leveraged Finance and one in ECM both at BB (e.g. JP, GS..). Which one (if any) do you think will allow me to laterally move to M&A more easily?

Thank you so much in advance for your support 😊
