Tier 2 BB vs Small PE

Have full-time offer with Tier 2 BB. Was contacted about potential opportunity at a small PE for analyst programme, around £1-2bn in size, apparently doing very well atm.

Is this a good opp to get into PE early? Or better to stick with the Tier 2 BB? Or just interview anyway and see where it gets me (involved in a load of stuff at uni so this would be taking up a load of time)? Currently interviewing for EBs atm too...

I'm 3rd Year Econ at top UK uni.

Thanks in advance!
