Internship deciding advice!

I come from a non-Oxbridge Russel uni in the UK as an American citizen. Even though I don't study finance, I've somehow gotten offers for

- BTIG investment banking (SF)

- Barings private placements (NYC)

I'm also super late in the process for 3 S&T roles in London and NYC with connections to interviewers. Please let me know which is best to start my career -- I know buy side experience is great early on, but not sure if the name is so unknown that I should just pick IB.

I heard from a current BTIG analyst that the deal flow is not that great. Take Barings
