Operations at BB vs Finance at F1000

Hey everyone,

Currently have an offer for an operations internship (back office) role at a BB for the summer, as well as a finance internship at a fortune 1000 company. I'm stuck on deciding which one would ultimately serve better in terms of finding a career upon graduation. While I do not see myself working in operations, I wonder if having the "brand name" of the BB would be better than working at the smaller company. If I chose this, the only experience on my resume would be for operations, and nothing really finance related. However, the F1000 internship is an actual financial role, which is something I see myself doing, but without the name recognition of the BB.

Would anyone have any advice on what I should do, or share your own similar experience? Both are the same pay in the same area (20 minutes away from each other). Thank you!

honest opinion: both are garbage, like you mentioned ops for the brand name. would have traded my first internship (corp dev at f500) for a back office ops at a top BB.
