do you think psp pe internships > ib at canadian banks? for reference, i'm a third year deciding between internship offers

Like someone above said, depends on what you want to do. If you're happy with sticking around at a pension fund mid to long term, go for it but as I said earlier, return offers at PSP are not that common (from what I've heard).

I cannot speak for CPP and Teachers', but as far as it goes in Montreal, an internship at PSP's direct private equity group is a great opportunity. For instance, compared to an internship at CDPQ (Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec), I would go for PSP. PSP will be a more competitive environment, but there seems to be more potential for internal promotion. As well, in Montreal, PSP's comp is likely the highest among pension funds.

Now if I were to compare a PSP internship to IB at a Canadian bank, I would choose IB first.

If you're in Canada, PSP internship in their DPE group is a pretty good opportunity. PSP could be considered second tier to the likes of CPP and Teachers' but it's still a major pension fund. I think they have a regular hiring program for interns but from what I've heard, return offers are rare. Being in Montreal also takes you out of much of the action, which is centered in Toronto. As a result you'd lose out on a lot of networking opportunities that interns in Toronto can get access to.
