Choosing between offers: Real Estate Consulting or Consumer Lending

I'm currently a second-year at a semi-target school on the west coast and I'm curious about going into strategy/management consulting. I've been fortunate to have two internship offers for this upcoming summer, 1) a Consulting Intern position at a real-estate consulting firm and 2) a Consumer Lending position at a very-well known bank in the US.

Offer #1's day-to-day would be analyzing housing supply/demand, going to various construction sites, and creating reports for clients. Not surprisingly, I'd also be using a lot of Excel and Powerpoint. The thing is, this is consulting in the real-estate field which (I presume) is very different from strategy/management consulting. I'd be visualizing graphics for regional housing trends, not, for example devising cost-cutting measures for firms.   

With Offer #2, I'd be using data analytics tools to optimize consumer lending practices in the bank's auto lending division. I would get a lot of experience in data analytics which I know is a good skill to have for any role, especially in consulting. The biggest pro for me, however, is the brand name: the bank is also very-well known and I think in conjunction with the data-heavy skills the experience will give me, make it a strong contender.


That being said, I've been at a crossroads for this whole week. The deadline for my decision is early next week. I've been going back and forth: for me it boils down to a great position title and somewhat-relevant experience vs. a strong brand name (although not in the same industry) and data-analytics experience.


I'd love to hear any thoughts on which offer I should choose. Thanks!
