Wealth Management Internship or Financial Planning for the summer ?

Hello,

I am currently a sophomore with hopes of breaking into IB in the future. I have to decide to accept a wealth management position with a relatively small firm or take a financial planning role with an F500 company. What is better to spin the story off in the future?

I feel like I will get better training / hands-on work at F500, but WM seems like a way to go before IB Internship. Any advice would help.
