US bank corporate banking role or Morgan Stanley wealth management?

I’m a senior at a target finance school. I have the option of joining US bank as a corporate analyst or Morgan Stanley as a wealth management analyst. How do the two positions compare? WLB? Prestige? Pay? Exit ops? Opportunities within each firm?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
