Lower Middle Market IB vs BB Corp Banking? (Undergrad Internship)

The main goal is for exits and career growth.

The Corp Bank (think Citi/JPM/BAML) is giving me similar pay to IB Analysts (85 base w/ 30-35 Bonus FT). But the main thing is I am curious about the experience and exit opps I will get from either (because typically these internships lead to FT offers).

I don't know whether to work for the big firm with more definite programs and career mobility (and ability to move into IB sometime later via internal lateral) or work at a boutique MM IB firm for more relevant experience.

I kind of want to also apply to IB for full time, but I don't know whether working at a big Corp Bank vs Small IB shop would look better. Also, what do PE firms think? Do they take Corporate Banking candidates often?

I was wondering on your guys' insights on these two potential routes.
