High guys. I got junior internship offers at an MBB consulting firm plus a middle market PE firm (AUM is btw 1-5 bil). I'm having a hard time making the decision of which to take; only have a couple of days left to decide. Personally, in the long run I want to be a corporate executive in the pharma or medtech space. Short term, I really just want to learn as much as possible, gain new skills, and hopefully make some good money because I have a lot of student debt rn. The MBB office has almost no healthcare focus, whereas the PE firm has a designated healthcare team I could intern on. MBB is also way farther from home, and I'd probably want to transfer offices eventually.

MBB def. MBB you can always go into pe, but not the other way around as easily.
I think you have this reversed. Someone with a background at a reputable PE shop can more likely move into MBB (especially if your firm has a relationship with the MBB), but not necessarily the other way around. Anecdotally, a bottom-bucket associate at my firm who was just let go found a new role at MBB.
Doesn't it seem though that more MBB are trying to move into PE than the reverse?
AUM is 1-5 mil? Do you mean $1-5 billion? $1-5 million is nothing...
Sorry, you're right. 1-5 billion. I misstyped.
