PE Post-MBA Recruiting Question

International MBA student in an M7 Business School. I got a summer internship offer in a PE fund in the US with +20bn AUM (last fund +4bn). However, the fund typically does not give full-time offers after finishing the summer internship. I have previous experience in banking (no US experience). This summer internship is my first investing role.

My question:  Would this summer internship be "enough" to get a full-time PE position in the US after graduation?
