NEED HELP: FI Research or Valuation Internship

Hi monkeys,

Not gonna get into much detail but basically, I’m a non-target junior, I didn’t know where in High Finance I wanted to end up, but I know I really like financial markets. Kind of ignored IB and it’s backfired on me bc I feel like after getting slight exposure to it I think it would be very interesting to work on deals as i still figure stuff out.

That being said, I have two internship offers for junior summer, one in Business Valuations at a top accounting firm (same work HL, LI, Kroll, etc Valuations teams do), and one in Fixed Income Research for a $300B+ Asset Manager

Which one might open the most doors for me, specially considering I might recruit FT for IB?
