If I were you I would take the REPE job. All else equal a front office job is better than a middle office job. That being said REPE may silo you into real estate (I'm not entirely sure) but i'd be cautious then if you don't want to do real estate IB. Regardless I'd say don't dwell on the decision too long and start networking/recruiting for summer 2019 since that is moving real fast.

 

I did RE PE as an underclassmen for a summer and in my interviews for IB it's never come off as weird. Usually they will ask why not stay in PE, and then will ask what extent of modeling experience did I get, etc.

I can't speak for PWM but being at a BB would probably open doors for networking into IB at that specific bank, and lots of people definitely do BB PWM --> BB IB at my school, so that can't be a bad turn either.
