Advice: Lev.FIn Vs M&A BNP CIB

Hello,

I received an internship offer in the LevFi & Acquisition Finance team of BNP Paribas CIB EMEA in Paris and also in their Real Estate M&A team (large cap ). Before that, I did two internships in Smid cap. I am very interested in leveraged finance and I would really like to discover the debt side of deals but I am afraid to take a risk with the current context. Do you think it would be better to continue in m&a or to diversify my experience/skills? I know that both teams are respected and in the long run I would like to work in PE

Thanks
