What internship will help set a junior year internship at a BB: Fortune 50 or boutique IB?

Hi everyone,

I'm a sopohmore currently attending a non-target. I am very interested in getting into real estate investments at a BB or REPE. I'm also interested in a Risk position at a BB as well (credit/market risk).

I have two internship offers this summer:

1) Financial Analyst internship at a top Fortune 50 company. Great company name.

2) Boutique IB Summer Analyst in Underwriting.

Which one of these internships will set me up better? I figured since I'm coming from a non-target I should try and get any big names I can on my resume (to get noticed), but IB will give me great experience as well. I'm equally happy with the responsibilities in both roles.
