You're going to have to provide a little more information than that. What are your reservations about it? Do you have other offers somewhere else?

I'm just curious because you must have learned a decent amount about what your responsibilities would be/what the job is like while going through the interview process.

 

Yeah so I was hoping to get into the commercial real estate acquisitions this summer at a PE shop, but I think I want to try something new outside of my comfort zone. The program would be 10 weeks rotational at 2 desks either in Sales, Trading, or structuring

 

If you can't get into commercial real estate acquisitions then I could see that. However, are you 100% certain you can't get into a PE shop? The only reason I ask is that any experience you can get that will help you land into your "dream" field is crucial. There isn't much time to experiment for fun.

If you have no other opportunities, then take the S&T role but look for a way to spin it into something relevant for the role you hope to get into in the future.

If you haven't reached out to every PE shop you can then now is the time. Really try to push for an internship and express your interest in the commercial real estate acquisitions area.
