Hey, I am in my fifth semester (Finance B.Sc. at a non target in Europe) with prior VC internship and have now internship offers for the summer at a PE firm in Manhattan (5b$ under management) and a F100 in Europe which would be in their corporate M&A department.
which internship is better relating my long term IBD goal (learnings and prestige)?
Thanks in advance! Cheers

Thanks for your answer, I think I can gain deal experience in both internships so the question is which experiences are more valuable for IBD...
PE firm will be more headcount light and will translate better to IBD
Thanks for your answer, I was also more likely to go with the PE offer since I think it is more IB related. Can you further explain why having light headcount at a PE firm is beneficial for future IBD (networking opportunities?)?
More likely to see significant responsibilities and not busy work and that's basically it.
