MM IB boutique or ER at a $44Bn AM/HF for 1st year (Freshman) Summer?

Got an offer from one, in the process for the other (pretty confident about it). Interested in both, IB seems more relevant to get into IB. What are your thoughts? - Student at a Target, recruiting for London.

PM me for firms names/more info.

On a side note I already have an internship in VC/PE, won an investment competition, and got strong positions in clubs.
