Summer Analyst - Pimco Alt Credit vs BAML IB vs Lazard M&A

Dear all, I'll be so much appreciated if I could have your valuable thoughts on which summer analyst role to choose among the following 3, in terms of learning curves, career trajectories, full-time return rates, compensations ... and all other aspects.

I haven't decided which route I want to take in the future.

a) Pimco, London - Alternative Credit & Private Strategies Summer Analyst, Special Solutions Group (Portfolio Management - Commercial Real Estate Equity)

b) Bank of America, Dubai - Investment Banking Summer Analyst

c) Lazard - M&A Summer Analyst
