HELP me make a decision - T2 Consulting Internship or Strategy Internship

Hello, currently a junior wanting to eventually break into MBB or a lucrative industry gig. I have 2 offers for my post-junior year internship (I know, very lucky).


The first offer is from a T2 firm. I would say it is a lesser known T2 firm but still well-established nonetheless and a leader in its field. What I like most about this offer is the office location I was placed in and the company's collaborative and strong culture.

The second offer is from a major US airline (United, Delta, American) within their strategy department. Essentially, I will be doing route planning, pricing, and network strategy, to maximize profit. I love the airline industry and would love to end up there long-term but am a little worried it will restrict me too much in the short term.

Would you recommend I accept the T2 offer or the strategy role within the major US airline? Which will set me up for more success in the future for MBB/lucrative industry gigs. 

Thank you!
