which SA offer to choose - LDN

guys, I am complete non-target medic/pharma student whose goal is IB. I have a SA offer for Bloomberg ( sales and analytics) and "Equity research" role at an AM firm ~$200B. I dunno which one to choose, keeping in mind I will also be applying for IB internship next year and also strongly considering a master if needs be.

Pros/Cons for BBG
1-convertible as an international student this is a huge point to have at least something to rely on.
2-big name
3-free food. supposedly better salary
4- not real finance more tech sales and a lot of in-class learning abt asset class ( to prepare to be a helpdesk not excited abt that).

Pros/Cons for AM firm
1- known in the EU but not a huge name
2- this role was created for me after I failed to get another position with them so not sure how structured it would be.
3- it is on exploring new drug dev for a particular disease by pharma companies- to see if it is worth investing, not sure it might be good for tech skills, but at least good industry knowledge
4-real peeps to network with who might know IB banker or SS ER.
5- not convertible
6- have to renege BLBG after abt 4 months signing the offer.

I guess my question is what put me on a better path for IB, and which one to choose? if that matters also doing a PE/Btque internship for 6 weeks before starting
