MM PE Analyst Role?

Essentially, I was a summer analyst at a top BB/EB, no return, now headed FT to a smaller MM PE Analyst program (3B fund). I'm wondering if I should keep trying to go back into banking because I hear these types of programs are way too risky and not worth it, any thoughts on if a PE firm this size is worth it or if I should try to get back into banking?
