Financial analyst RE or commercial/corporate lending?

So I'm currently an intern in acquisitions and asset management at an REPE firm with around $500m in assets. Unfortunately, they're not going to have any space to hire me at the end of this semester when I graduate. I have an opportunity to be a financial analyst at a large property management firm, manages around 100 assets, dealing with some asset management responsibilities and acquisitions responsibilities. The other one would be an analyst commercial/corporate lending group at a middle market bank, smaller bank with a heavy presence in the south and a lot of growth the past few years. I would be analyst in the group and would work on commercial underwriting and some corporate lending.

I wan to be in real estate on the debt or equity side but here are my options right now until something else comes up. Trying to see which path would be best.

Any advice would be great.
