Should I go into LatAm or Energy?

Hi everyone, looking for your sage advice.

I'm a junior (Lat. Am. born) at a target. I'm looking into IBD SA in LatAm groups in NYC and Energy in Houston (I'm fine with moving to Houston-- don't consider the cities in your answers).

I don't know what I want to do after my analyst years-- most likely going to business school. Idk if I wanna do PE or stick to banking or even go corporate, but as of now, I think I would like to work with energy in Latin America (and I'm not even 100% sure how to do that yet, but we'll see as time goes).

Would you recommend I start off in a LatAm group or an Energy group? Could you tell me why you think so?
Thanks!
