URGENT! BAML trading operation VS Duff&Phelps portfolio valuation

Both for summer intern in NYC, my ultimate goal is IBD. How much of mobility is there in BAML to lateral into IBD by the end of the summer intern? Or does portfolio valuation look better to lateral into IBD? In case I get unlucky that I cannot break into IBD with either, which one position me better for B school? Would appreciate any thoughts.

Currently most professionals I know suggest I take Duff, but I just thought BAML would be a better name for lateral and it has lots of networking opps to internally transfer to IBD
