Top BB IBD vs Vista Equity out of college

I am currently a sophomore with an IBD offer from a top BB (think MS/GS/JPM) at a top group. I currently have a final round interview for my junior year through their program and will most likely be able to even push to like a top TMT group for my junior year. I've already accepted the offer and will be signed onto it. I was also accepted into one of Vista Equity's programs which is a pipeline for their recruiting for junior summer. I will also be recruiting for other top PE firms junior year but am curious to know if I should stay in BB or should I go for Vista/BX/KKR for next year. Also, does anyone know how many interns at Vista convert to full-time?

 

Consider Austin vs New York. Also, consider if PE is what you want to do in the long run.
