Internship decision: Wells Fargo Equity S&T vs. Top Macro Hedge Fund

So I currently have two internship offers pending:

1) Wells Fargo equity S&T in NYC
2) Top macro hedge fund in NYC (think one of the all-time great macro investors' hedge fund)

Both pay around the same amount

I'm torn because the WFS internship is more structured, would give me great training, and would more likely than not lead to a full-time job offer in an area of WFS that is going to be expanding in the next 10 years.

However, the HF internship is at a top HFs which is exciting, but there would not be a job offer at the end of the summer, and the alumni from my undergrad school that helped to get me the position would probably be pretty disappointed if I didn't accept (not to the point where he would be mad at me, but still).

Thoughts, opinions, ideas?

 

I guess I don't see it as cut and dry as that. The selling point from WF was that because they are revamping their S&T program, if I work hard then I could be a VP in 5-6 years, and director by thirty (my school's alumni that work there being living proof of that).

With the HF gig, it would be pretty unstructured and would look better on paper than what I would really get out of it in real life.

Maybe I'm biased towards WF, but idk.
