Ooh.

I'm gonna throw it out there and suggest that the BB name is better, and the networking you can do (plus, I can't imagine that it'd not help for getting a junior year IB role at the same BB) gives the BB risk side the nod. If you feel like the boutique is low on deal flow, it's probably worth avoiding.

Maybe for resume screening the BB name would help, but once you get to interview stage, having an IBD internship under your belt will be extremely useful. You'll know a lot about what IBD is actually all about, whereas if you take RIsk, you'll have a lot of essentially irrelevant knowledge.

I agree, but resume screen is all it really matters... If they see he has not had any IB experience, they won't drill him on a M&A sale process, what goes in a teaser, a CIM, etc, etc.

As for mobility, that's all up to you. You need to network your ass off when you're at the internship and make sure you meet any banker you can talk to. So by the end of your internship, they should know your name, and once that happens, you can easily get an interview.
