Choosing between BAML GCM in SF and TD Securities IB Credit in NYC

Looking for some opinions on my decision regarding Summer Analyst positions here...

I got an offer for BAML Capital Markets in their SF office within their rates & currencies division.

The other offer is for TD Securities in their NYC office for Investment Banking Credit.

I know it's only an internship and both pay the same but I'm just wondering what would make the most sense for bringing my career forward. I barely know anyone in SF in contrast to NYC and considering that I'm hoping to work full-time in NYC I feel like TD makes more sense even though it's not as a prestigious company. Adding to that, I've mostly been recruiting for IB and since I'm looking to go into PE after a couple of years, IB at TD is probably a better option in terms of the experience in this case.

What do you guys think? Appreciate any thoughts!
