Which internship would you take?

I’m a real estate sales background, career pivot int into finance. post mba goals vary with hedge fun, asset management, maybe private equity. I find out in a couple weeks if I’m accepted into a full time mba.

I have the chance for two pre mba internships. the first is a credit analyst at a regional bank that’s paid and full time. the second is an unpaid private equity internship for a new shop that’s 10-20 hrs a week. Any advice which one would help me reach my goals, assuming my goals stay the same
