LSE+PWM vs KBW ER Sophomore Summer

Guys,

Have an offer at Keefe Bruyette & Woods in ER this summer and I plan on going to LSE for both sessions. Have to choose one, but already bought the plane ticket for $1200. I can work at KBW, use the money to pay for the ticket and still have some left over.

Current plan is to work at a small WM firm, then go to LSE, both of which are in the bag (verbally accepted the wm offer). But I'm thinking, will the KBW name help more than LSE+PWM on my resume?

Goal is IBD SA junior year. Sophomore, semi target, mid to lower GPA (3.0-3.5)

EDIT: Currently working at a mm IB (small firm, no name) if that helps.

Thanks

 

LSE's summer school is worth the dump I am taking at the moment.
