Infra PE Analyst vs. Pension Fund Infra PE Analyst

First time writing at WSO. I've been spectator for some time - finding this website has been the best thing ever happened to me.

I'm saying this because now I have few decisions to make! FYI. I have always been interested in infrastructure and project finance.

Option 1) Public Finance role at BB Option 2) Well respected Infra PE firm (~10bn AUM) Option 3) PE role at Pension Fund's in-house Infra Investment group (~20bn AUM)

Option 2,3 are most compelling as these would entail direct investing in infra. Public fin role at BB isn't so attractive compared to 2 and 3 in my opinion. What do you think is the best option for someone who wants be in the area of infrastructure investment for long term?
