Boutique IB vs P.E. for SA role

A little background... I'm a junior at a semi target and interned at a boutique IB my last summer. I went through superdays with some top firms (e.g. BX) but have been rejected from almost everywhere (still waiting to hear back from 1).

Looking forward for full time recruiting for IB next year, if nothing pans out, would it be more beneficial to find another middle market boutique to intern at or would you recommend going PE this summer?
