Full-time BB IB vs Internship MF Special Situations
I have the following job offers:
- Full-time analyst at a BB (GS/MS) in a regional office in Europe
- Internship in the special situations group of a MF (KKR/Carlyle/BX) with a high conversion rate
I want to work in PE / investing in the long term. I feel like I'm more interested in the special sits role but that would be a risk as it is an internship. Also, I believe I would have a difficult time moving to London PE from a regional office. Which one would you choose?
