Risk Management vs Investment Strategy

Hi, so right now I got offered a role in Allianz Investment Management to do investment strategy in equities and derivatives (3 months), as well as a bulge bracket bank industrial attachment (1 year) doing fixed income risk. I am wondering if you guys have any advice for me as to which I should take up if my ultimate end-goal after graduation is to do trading (preferably in the fixed income derivatives space).

Some context would be that, if I do AIM, I will have 1 more summer left to fight for a good summer internship, but if I do the Industrial Attachment, I will NOT have any more summer, and hope for a conversion / hunt for a full-time in trading.

Please advise!
