Development project finance vs infra PE

So I have these 2 offers for my first finance experience: one in a development bank in an infra project finance team (all types of infra: energy, roads, bridges, telecoms, mines, logistics, urban transport… in emerging countries: Africa, Asia, South America) and another one in a quite big PE but focusing only on (renewable) energy and stuffs like charging stations for electric vehicles in much less exotic countries (Europe).

For the kind of projects, I obviously prefer the development bank which is much more diverse and interesting to me (both for all the types of infra and the geographies that I find fascinating compared to the PE fund that is a bit boring next to that: a windfarm in Germany is less exciting than a cable car connecting a favela with a city center in Ecuador) but the pay is a bit less (not really a problem tbh) and also I’m scared to be taken less seriously later than if I go to PE now. People in the the DFI are also less finance style than in the fund, which I preferred when I interviewed, but I don’t know if this should be taken into account for that choice.

My medium-term goal would be either infra PE but not energy, more transport and natural resources, or working directly in a mining or construction or transport company in the finance or development team.

How would you proceed to chose? In the project finance/infra area, how is the reputation of DFI? Happy to hear your thoughts about that!
