Help Needed in future plans

Hey WSO,

A little bit of background before I pose my question: I am a 3rd year poli sci/econ student attending a non-target Canadian school (I know, I know - Canada).

During my time at university I have maximized my experience by starting a club (largest club on campus now), learning multiple programming languages (java, xml, SQL, Ruby), networking to the best of my abilities (joined a frat etc etc) and also shooting for jobs that may eventually catapult me in to an IB/analyst position within a bank or financial institution.

Last summer I interned at a Oil & Gas utility company conducting sales/cost analysis. It was a good job but I don't think its enough to get in to most bay street firms. Now, I have an option to come back to that company and play a larger role in their financial department. Furthermore, I would also be administering/introducing a new ERP system within that company (this is in Edmonton/Calgary).

Alongside this, I have an option to work for a large bank in Toronto in their AML department as an intern/analyst. It is in a completely different department than what I want to be in - however, it is a foot in the door.

My question for WSO is: would it be best to get my foot in the door of this bank and use that as leverage/experience to continue doing finance/investment banking when I finish my degree; or, would it be best to take the cost analysis/new ERP internship in Edmonton.

Canada's current growth is intrinsically linked to the Oil & Gas industry, good experience in that sector would surely be an asset however the economies of scale and mark on the resume that working at a bank presents is also great. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I look forward to hearing your thoughts/opinions.
