SIG stat Arb vs CITI quant research

Hi All. I am a PhD in math and recently got offer for the summer intern from SIG(philly) and Citi (NYC).

I will be on the statistical arbitrage team at SIG. Not sure about the citi position, different desks are gonna choose the interns base on their experience.

I am more interested in quantitative trading.

Could anyone give me some suggestions which one to choose for better career opportunity?
