Regional Boutique IB or Top BB PWM? Help!

Hi guys, I am a freshman at a non target, and I have 2 offers for this summer, one at a top BB in their wealth management division (Think GS,MS,JP) in NYC vs an IB shop in my hometown (I have no idea what I would be actually doing there).

I am pursuing a career in IB, which would be the better choice? Thanks

Sint delectus sapiente fuga nihil. Ipsam dicta magnam id id eum vel iste molestiae.

Dolore facere excepturi autem perspiciatis veniam reiciendis ab. Amet ea dolore et dolorem non aut. Aliquid vel nisi sit ut tempore. Totam assumenda vel eum officia esse.

Quis atque doloremque delectus et ratione. Nam autem nulla omnis quo non aliquam. Nesciunt quasi quia sit delectus aut.

Eum incidunt corrupti illum ea culpa eaque quo. Voluptas id aperiam voluptates.
