Need help choosing summer internship... 3 solid options on the table

I have received offers from the following:

  1. LMM Private Equity Analyst (Local Botique)
  2. Corporate Accounting at MM bank with great brand recognition & laterals
  3. Fortune 500 FDP intern (GE, J&J ect.)

Some things to consider: I have another summer in college after this (I graduate 2027). I do NOT want to work in IB postgrad. I have had a taste of the 60 hr workweek and anything equivalent or more is not for me. I am most interested in corp dev, FP&A and commercial banking, in that order. Consulting is also interesting to me, but less so. I am also not at a target school (not even close). I have a year of experience at a small public accounting firm currently. Comp is not a factor I'm concerned about, I would make enough at each to support myself comfortably.

Which Intership?
