Please help me decide - BB Risk or Boutique AM Client Service?

I have two offers on the table, and need some advice as to which offer to take. For background, I’m finishing up a Poli Sci degree at a small state school. Interned at a boutique AM firm for a year with a client facing team. Now completing a summer internship at one of the big 4 banks in Risk. I enjoyed my time at both places. Both places have offered me a FT position. Comp and location is the same. If you were in my position, which would you choose?
