Which person would you rather hire?

I am currently a gap year student from a non-target. During this gap year, I aimed to do 2 long internships, that would help me build a path toward a role in L/S equity HF, before finishing my degree.

I managed to find a first position as an analyst in a small HF and I have been in this position for 5 months. However, due to, I presume, a lack of capacity of selling myself, I got dinged in all my interviews (mainly in mid-sized and small HF) and could end up without any second internship. It clearly affected my confidence but at least I learn something from these rejections I guess.

Now, I have still a little bit of time to find a position in HF/AM/ER but I am clearly considering the scenario in which I do not find any. I am considering 2 paths:

- Either I try to find an internship in a role that I don't want (think MO, risk..), and go for it if I get accepted. (this probably implies more grunt work and less learning than the second option but probably more marketability).

- Or I don't find any but use my time to secure the CFA L2, build up some ER reports and more models, improve my coding skills and perhaps find a 2-month unpaid internship in a role I like or take a GMAT exam to put an Msc of a target school on my CV. (I already study for CFA L2 but with 60h+/ week I don't have much time to do the other things seriously).

This yield to 2 different types of CV for end-of-study internship and FT hiring. Which person would you rather hire?
