JPM Private Bank vs $1B PE firm for fall internship?

Hey guys, I'm a rising junior looking to get an IBD SA role for next summer. If I had the above two options, which one would fit best with my interests?

Thanks in advance!

I think you should really start by asking yourself: 1) What do I enjoy doing? 2) What are specific nature of each position? 3) What motivates me a) money b) work-life balance c) others? How can we help you with this, without really knowing what "your interests" are?

I say the PE gig. There are hundreds of kids with PWM on their resume. Not everyone can get a serious PE firm. I'd imagine your exposure there would be more meaningful and would help you more in future interviews than private banking.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
