URGENT: which internship offer to take?

Have 2 offers for summer 2024, one is at JPM PB in manager research, and the other is IR at a hedge fund. The IR role seems a lot more interesting to me and pays a bit more, but I was told that low head count might result in me not getting a FT offer after graduation. Obviously with the state of the market, having a return offer is important to me, but I'm not sure if I would be making a bad move by not accepting the HF role. Thoughts?
