PE summer offer

Hey guys,

I’m a junior in Toronto and have been offered a summer analyst position at a PE fund with about $200mm in AUM and 5 people. Do you think with everything going on right now that I should just accept this or hold out for interviews at the investment banks in January?

Some things to consider:
- All 5 people have prior experience at top ibanks and pe funds
- A $200 mm pe fund in Toronto is actually on the larger side, probably as rare to find as a $2 billion fund in New York
- Accepting this offer and reneging is not an option, Bay Street is about 100 times smaller than Wall Street so the whole “everyone in finance knows each other” thing is more serious here
- There is no guarantee of a FT opportunity
- I’m not a strong candidate for ibanking interviews this summer

I’m just looking to here what some other people would do in this situation and why.
