Choosing Summer Internship: Macquarie Capital Infrastructure M&A or UBS DCM?

Title says it all. I have received internship offers from both, and I am struggling with selecting which one to accept.

I have previous internship experience within equity research (utilities and renewables), and find the Infrastructure sector interesting. At the same time, I enjoy reading about the development in the macro/market/political environment, so I guess I am torn between two distinct career alternatives.

Practical details: I enjoy a good night's sleep. The pay is roughly the same, and both are in London.

Which internship would open most doors (or close the least)? All opinions and insights are appreciated...

 

depends how much you enjoy a good night's sleep. some dcm desks keep you there late, but compared with m&a you have a much better chance of getting to bed at a decent time.

Remember, once you're inside you're on your own. Oh, you mean I can't count on you? No. Good!
