Deciding on Internship Help

I am rising junior at a non-target ultimately looking to get into IBD. I have two internship offers this summer that I have to choose between within the next week.

  1. Equity Research at well known MM bank = Paid
  2. Loan Sale Advisory at decent sized boutique = Non-paid

I am leaning towards the ER position because it is at a well-known bank and it is paid. I am just curious to hear other's opinions in case I am missing anything in my decision.
