INTERSHIP IN SEARCH FUND OR CF BOUTIQUE??

Hi! Here an Economics and Law student from a spanish not target, currently doing a year abroad in a non target at UK, in my penultimate year of uni.

My goal is to enter at PE or IB as an analyst. So I have this summer and next one to take 2 interships (at least).

Last summer I interned in the finance department of an average non-financial company in Spain. Got this two options for this summer: a british established search fund or a spanish CF boutique (small one), advisory that focus mainly in PE.

Next year I'll try to intern at a big consulting (or other options) to move forward to PE or IB, of course trying before in those ones.

what option would be better and why?

Thanks in advance!!
