MM S&T Internship vs Boutique IB Internship

Hello all, this is my first post here on WSO. The title basically says it all. I need to decide between a 2023 Internship in S&T at a MM and a Boutique IB internship. I am looking to actually go into IB out of school but I'm wondering if it is more worth it to have a more prestigious company name on my resume. Also, would it be possible to lateral from S&T from the MM to IB in the same firm from summer to summer? Thanks for any insight you guys can provide me as I don't have many finance contacts I can go to with these decisions.

Guess when you put it that way. But I am curious if the name value of an MM on a resume and the networking I can do while at the shop is more helpful than a boutique IB. Feel as though it’s a fair question.
