Stifel-KBW vs. Antares Lev lending

Recently received an offer from Stifel Investment Banking generalist program (St. Louis) and also from Antares Capital (Chicago) in leveraged lending. Heard deal flow at Antares is really impressive with great industry exposure. Wanted opinions on what internship to go for?

I am currently working in levfin and I get to work with the Antares guys from time to time. They are amazing at what they do and even though they aren't huge players in my market, I know they are really strong nationally, particular in Chicago. For internships, I think Stifel is a solid offer and getting IB experience might be the way to go but if for whatever reason you really wanna play in the Leveraged Finance space then Antares is a damn good place to start. Just my 2 cents.

Not sure about either's exit opps tho. Stifel would be in line with other MM banks and idk how Antares gets viewed. I imagine working close with PE firms must have to count for something.

Dayman?
