Tech vs IBD 2025

Hi,

I’m a junior at a top target. I have an internship as a product manager at a >$10bn AI “startup”. I was also given a last minute offer at a top bank (GS/EVR/MOE)

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to go about this? As far as long term earning potential, is finance the way to go? I really have no interest in getting my MBA fwiw
