Which offer should I choose (PWC risk assurance intern vs unpaid Investment intern)

Hi guys I would like to ask a question. I have received two internship offers - PWC risk assurance (transformation) and an unpaid internship at a small investment firm. My long term career goal is to enter into any wealth management / asset management / corporate banking. The PWC one is like a consulting role. PWC has bigger brand name but the investment firm offers more transferrable skills.

However, the unpaid investment firm is very small (around 10 people). The firm is also a bit unprofessional as its job posting stated relatively competitive salary but they told me it's an unpaid role when they send me the offer email.

Which one should I choose? Thank you!
