Hi all,
Currently struggling the decision either to intern at MF PE or middle tier BB with a high chance of getting FT.
I'm close to graduation and the uncertainty of keep searching after the internship is what I would like to avoid but several people in the industry suggested the PE due to reputation and would open a lot of opportunities after.

MFPE
Which MFPE fund is running internships with no chance of conversion? Seems insane.
SEO LDN
Then it’s definitely KKR
I had to look it up didn’t even know what SEO LDN is
If it’s not KKR, it must be Advent.
Why is that insane? Plenty of them do it…?
Is this a summer internship or some sort of post-graduation opportunity? What geo?
Off-cycle, need someone for current workload. It was not a open position posted on the website. Not in LDN

I think only you can answer this question. I’m assuming the MF is KKR/Advent which do not convert - you mentioned you’re coming close to graduation, are you prepared to do a masters and re-recruit or apply for off-cycles? If you’re done and just want a job I would take the BB, if you’re prepared for another recruitment cycle then take the name strength of the MF.
Take the MF PE. I did a similar internship which didn’t convert but got a call back a couple years later for a FT role. The connections you build are very important also think about the selectivity in terms of how many PE interns there will globally vs BB.
Wouldn't count on this. Check the LinkedIns of previous people who did the SEO advent internship. Would have been better taking a BB SA
