Should I do Municipal Finance or Corporate Banking at RBC for 2024 SA

Going into my junior year and I have the option to do either Corporate Banking or Municipal Finance, which of these would be the better option if I wanted to try and lateral to IB or try at FT recruiting, also does anyone know around the pay range for either of these roles? 

Thank you for replies in advance!

No, Corporate banking is investing in investment grade companies via debt

Investment banking is connecting companies with investors

Not at all! Its literally investing in companies on behalf of the bank. Less hours and good WLB, but also good work.
