Internships OTHER than assciate roles in PE, IB, HF, etc. during MBA.

I know associate internships for PE, IB, and HF are in high demand during MBA recruitment. I'm curious to know what internship roles are highly sought out OTHER than associate roles. If you received an Internship during your MBA and it wasn't one of these... what was the internship & which industry? Were you happy with it? And why did you love / hate it? Thank!

How was your experience recruiting post mba? What types of funds do you target? If you were previously at hf what was the thought process on b school?
