Transfering from DCM to Corp Fin vs. climbing CorpFin ladder

Long story short, I'm about to be a senior in college at a non-target and one day want to work in Corp Development for a big company (f500 or close to it). Wanting to hedge my options if the IBD connections I have fizzle out.

HYPOTHETICAL Supposing I get an opportunity in the DCM group of a non-BB bank and an opportunity in a F100 FLDP... which do you guys think sets me up for that long term goal better? and why?

Thanks y'all :)
