Institutional VC vs Corporate VC

I'm a senior in undergrad and have 2 full-time offers:

1.) Analyst at a VC firm (VC but has a good 8+ year track record)
2.) Hybrid analyst between corporate VC and strategy at a large global tech company in their west coast office (not FAANG)

Which one would be best for learning about venture investing and startups out of college? Which one would also help me join a top-tier VC or corporate development group at a top tech company (FAANG) down the road?
