Infrastructure Private Equity (CDPQ, PSP etc) VS. Private Credit (CVC...)

Hello, 

Toughts on which internships to take? Infra PE at a canadian pension fund or private credit at CVC

What are the exit opportunities for both careers? Which one is better (comps, exit opps, etc...). 

Assuming I have leveraged finance internship and i take Infra PE, is this excluding me to apply to private debt later? 

THANKS!
