Internship in Small Hedge Fund vs. Capital Markets vs. Consulting

Hi folks

I am based in London and I need to choose among three career options:

  • I have an offer from Mizuho International for an internship that rotates across S&T and DCM.
  • I also have an interview with a small hedge fund, SPX Capital, with $300M in assets under management.
  • Another interview I have is with OC&C for an internship in strategy consulting.

I would like to know which of these offer me the best career prospects and opens more doors for me. How is it like to work in a small hedge fund and how much can I learn there? Does it fast track my career towards working in a large hedge funds?

Thank you

these aren’t career options, you have received one offer and the rest are interviews. I would personally go with OC&C but you should really secure the offers first.
