First year internship: ER/ECM vs PE

Hi,

question from a London student: I have a mixed midcap ECM/ER internship or a PE internship (also middle/regional market) to choose from for the summer after first year (both in Germany).

I want to do a summer internship in M&A the summer after second year in London. What should I choose to best position myself for this?
