Advice on summer analyst offers

Hey everyone, I have a few offers for the summer and I was wondering if I could get some advice. The two I am considering are S&T at Barclays Capital and Fixed Income S&T at Credit Suisse. How are these firms viewed on the street in S&T and in Fixed Income? Which place has better future prospects? Here is some other relevant info:

  1. My school is a target for Barclays, we have a solid alumni base there and it seems like they really want me to join. Also in the past 4-5 years, almost 100% of interns from my school have gotten FT offers.

  2. I go to a non-target for CS, not many alumni there. Although I'll work really hard over summer, I don't know what their summer analyst-FT offer conversion rate is. From what I've seen, the work environment seems awesome.

  3. Both are rotational programs, CS rotations are within FI. I am open to everything and am only slightly leaning towards FI at this point in time.

Thanks in advance, an aspiring trader
