Which to pick for internship?

Which to pick for internship? Any and all advice appreciated.

OPTION 1: Multi-strategy fund with 1 Bn+ total AUM

(This role involves screening prospective investments, due diligence etc. Not sure if this is classified as ops, can someone help me out here?)

OPTION 2: Reputable MM firm

(This role primarily involves updating the value of various portfolio positions in their database. Other miscellaneous work also.)

Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking to do S&T and hopefully quant HFs later on.

It's an interesting choice because the work at option #1 (the HF) seems more like IBD type work, while option #2 (the MM) seems loosely related to portfolio/investment management.

Any other thoughts?
