Search Fund Internships for IB (Bulge Bracket and Boutiques) and PE Recruiting

How useful are search fund internships if I want to recruit for IB or PE recruiting right out of undergrad. I had a PE/Search fund internship this past spring where I learned modeling and other skills. I also have another search fund opportunity lined up for the summer, which is more international. Will these internships help out during IB recruiting (Bulge Brackets and Boutiques) as well as PE recruiting (Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, Ares, Bain).

 

Don’t think they’ll matter much for PE recruiting but I was successful during SA recruiting with a search fund internship
