corporate VC/growth equity vs boutique adivsory

Hey, currently deciding between these two (SA position). Would appreciate it if anyone has advice on which to go for. The CVC is of an F500 company, with a quite hefty AUM tbf (if that matters), and seems to focus on growth equity stage deals (Series B+, some Series A). The boutique's an advisory firm but it also does principal investments, mostly focusing on PE/special situations/distressed (but also does VC sometimes). Both are reputable in their respective fields, but, if it matters, the boutique is much more discreet in branding (no proper Linkedin page, family office like, smaller team, etc). Job scope should similar I suppose, just different fields.

Background: EU based. Senior yr, studying in UK semi-target (Warwick/KCL/Imperial/Durham). Prior SA at an early-stage fund. Will have another SA gig at a growth PE firm after this current SA (both scheduled to be 2 months duration). Trying to keep my options as wide as possible (IB/consulting/PE/VC) after graduation, especially with the recent situation going on. Might even go for a MiM/MSF if things go astray with FT (bonus: how would the choices look to adcoms?). Thanks a lot for any inputs!
