Decide between 2 SF Tech SA Offers

I was lucky enough to have received offers from two sf BB for SA '21. 

One of them is lower "ranked" but does modeling in-house & focused on m&a; the other is a bit more "prestigious" but is a coverage group that does lots of debt/equity and does *not* do modeling in-house (works with product groups). 

If my goal is to do PE post-banking, which offer should I take?

JPM tech M&A exits better than JPM coverage since they actually get significant modeling experience. Not into the "ranking" banks bullshit but UBS/Barc would probably be viewed in the lower tier of BB tech groups by the buy-side. But still, any BB tech group will open up plenty of buy-side doors even if not GS TMT or MS Menlo. You're so fine soldier. Exits are way more a function of you than they are your group... just so happens that top groups have top talent and thus they exit well, correlation not necessarily causation
