PIMCO Summer Account Analyst or JPM IB SA NYC?

Got offers in newport beach for pimco and NY for JPM IBD, but not group specific. I'm open to both locations.

It seems that pimco has much better hours, and the work looks more interesting, and it's on the buyside. Whereas for JPM it looks like there's a wide variety of exit ops, but I'm worried about group placement and if I end up in capital markets.

Would be very happy to receive your thoughts on this. I'm not interested in PE or HF. Please lmk if there's anything else I should consider. Thanks.

EDIT: at top target (HYP), stats major, very high gpa
