I am currently an intern in Private Equity (Buyout) in London and I will not be retained in my current fund, so I got these two offers in banking:

What do you think will have the best exit opportunities if I want one day to come back to private equity?

Not smart enough to know the answer (I would say coverage / M&A > ECM but MS is also so much more relevant to PE in Europe) however if you weren’t aware Jefferies have an M&A team - so joining the FIG team would be like a standard coverage team (i.e. they do both advisory and financing)
