FP&A role in PE Firm vrs PE role in small-cap PE firm

Curious to know what people think about choosing an MBA summer role between and FP&A role in a RE PE firm (single-family residential unit) and a small-cap PE firm in CT. Candidate is a CPA and plans to pivot to IB/PE. Aim is to get a foot in the door. Don't know if there are any such success stories.
