which internship to choose

I’m currently a sophomore and I have offers to intern at Morgan Stanley wealth management as a wealth management intern and United health group as a financial analyst intern. Being that I would like to break into ib, I’m stuck in deciding which internship to choose. I used to think that i wanted to work in wealth management after college but heard a lot of bad things about it. I also heard that wealth management interns don’t do much and just do bitch work basically and cold calling. Can anyone give me their perspective on which internship I should choose? I’m leaning towards uhg Bc just Bc of the analyst title but not sure. I feel that the Morgan Stanley name could do more for me. Anything would help, thanks in advance.
