The PE opportunity sounds like it is significantly more attractive, so I would suggest focusing on negotiating an extension rather than the 3rd year analyst position. You can tell them that you have a lot of respect for both firms, and want to make sure that you are as mature as possible about the process of taking the next big step in your career. It would be a disservice to them to base your decision on the job you may very well hold for the next 5-10 years on a difference in deadlines of X number of days. Ask for a specific deadline extension (Sept X), and tell them that you're not simply waiting to get a 2nd offer, but rather using your time to do diligence on both firms, speaking with mentors of yours and rigorously evaluating the benefits of both opportunities. You can also tell them that the PE firm has been very courteous and professional, and it would be unprofessional of you to cut them off before they've had an opportunity to make a decision. You can also let the IB know that once you take the offer you'd be available to start ASAP (hopefully you are). Hopefully the PE firm isn't just stringing you along, and you really can get an offer out of them. Good luck!

Completely agree with above. Giving you an offer with such a strict deadline, particularly in light of the fact that this is off cycle, you're a lateral, and they know you have other offers, seems a bit silly. Sure, having some timeline is realistic but they should be willing to be a little flexible.
