Hi, is it worth leaving your current position (3rd year IBD analyst due to be promoted to associate in one year) for a summer analyst position at a mega fund in PE? Essentially taking a 3 year step back, but for PE at a top fund? Ofc no guarantee to convert the internship which is a huge risk too.
Thanks.

Have you not been able to recruit for said/similar funds through HHs?
I’ve tried a lot but unfortunately I haven’t had any luck when applying for associate or analyst positions at funds through headhunters. I come from a non BB / EB background which makes it harder.
One of the headhunters I was working with over the past year had put my CV forward multiple times but every time told me the fund picked the BB / EB candidates over me, despite the headhunter trying to push for me. The headhunter brought up this internship role at a mega fund, im overqualified but they might still be able to put my CV forward if I would like.
