Rating Advisory vs Private Credit Internship

Hi, 

I was wondering which internship is better between Private Credit at a lower 1st tier fund (think CDPQ, Eurazeo, Ardian) or Rating Advisory DCM at a large bank of similar prestige? 

Long term objective would be to join DCM origination ideally, but also open to other opportunities in IB. My understanding is that Private Credit narrows your future opportunities while Rating Advisory could give me a better shot at DCM origination although it may be a little less prestigious. 

Any help or additional info on either domain would be greatly appreciated!!
