Rising college senior, looking for advice

Hello, I am a current Junior and I am a Business Admin major with an economics concentration. I filled my general elective credits with various finance courses as well. My interests are leaning me toward investment banking but I also do have an interest in working in wealth management. I have two potential opportunities and I need advice as to which route to go:

  1. This summer I was offered an unpaid data analyst internship at Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute. They are a major resourcer for Sovereign Wealth Funds, Pensions, Endowments and Institutional Investors. The job consists of analyzing various wealth management firms such as what percent of their portfolio composition is in real estate. Then we publicize the information to SWFI subscribers so they can make investment decisions. This job will also consist of me writing articles and doing research on many firms and economies. I will be given a press pass as well where I can get into firms and interview managers as well. The manager said previous interns have received job offers from places like Russell and Amazon's investment team but obviously it depends heavily on the networking ability of the candidate.

2.After sending my resume to a local investment firm, I was also told to come by the office once I am home for the summer. The role is a paid data analyst role but instead of posting the information for many investors, the information is used solely by the firm. I may be offered the role when I get home. Also, this internship would most likely result in a job-offer by graduation.

My question is: If given offers at both firms, which do you believe would make me better off in the long-run?

Thank you!
