Please Advise ASAP: Merchandise Planner or Capital Management Analyst?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am deciding between a couple of internship offers this week. One is with a top retailer in the US, in merchandise planning. The other one is with a top bank in the US, in capital management. </p>

<p>I major in finance and marketing...so I am interested in both internships, and have a hard time deciding what I want to do.</p>

<p>I would like to hear your opinions on which is a better career path in terms of:
1) advancement and compensation, 2) work and life balance, 3) how interesting the work is, 4) which exposes one to more contacts for future? As well as any other input.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
