Urgent Offer Decision

I'm a sophomore at a non target. I have two choices for the summer:

1) Paid HF ($3B) Internship that will continue through the fall semester. It pretty much back office work, but the culture is great and there is a pretty good chance that I gain additional responsibilities as time goes on (Not very structured). Limited hours which is nice ( I only have 1 summer left)

2) PE FoF Internship at a boutique. It's really small so the pay system is a kinda weird, only a bonus at the end depending on how you perform. Work is very legit, but hours are demanding.

I have to decide pretty quick, but any advice would be great.

Thanks

Tough call. Bear in mind that a lot of hedge funds are a lot smaller and responsibilities are less well defined. A lot of newer folks will start off with back-office responsibilities.

Since I've been in the capital markets, my preferences are more towards the hedge fund. And it seems like you might enjoy working with the people there. I would recommend the hedge fund, but that could just be my own preferences speaking.
