Apprenticeship vs Uni — Big Tech goals

I’ve got a DTS degree apprenticeship offer from a bank, but I’m unsure if I should take it or go to uni to study CS instead. Long-term, I want to get into Big Tech, not fintech.

The apprenticeship gives experience and no debt, but I’m worried it might limit my chances of breaking into top tech firms later. Uni gives more flexibility, but no guaranteed experience.

Anyone know if Big Tech hires from apprenticeships? Would uni be the better route?

Would appreciate any advice!

Apprenticeship > Uni for tech roles would only do uni for degree specific jobs and prestige finance
