Bulge Bracket Vs Private Equity Firm Vs Hedge Fund

Greetings Wall Street Oasis;
Searching for career advice in the form pros and cons of entering each specific industry within financial services; I am simply trying to get the most information so I can make the most informed decision regarding recruitment process. I have been speaking with recruiters at a megafund PE firm ( KKR/ Blackstone/ Apollo) about for their Credit team, two multi-manager hedge funds ( Think Point72, Millenium, Citadel), and Bulge Bracket Banks for sales & trading about full-time roles at their organization.

If you would like proof of these conversations ( to prove I'm not a troll) feel free to private message me.

I am currently at a Junior at Non-Target majoring in economics; I have had internship experience at a Big 4 Organization( Freshman), Bulge Bracket for S&T ( Sophomore Year), and this summer I will be interning at MBB & a tech startup ( Before my consulting internship starts). Additionally, I am on the executive board for a diversity-oriented student-run hedge fund that is sponsored by top financial institutions ( Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, Bridgewater to name a few).

Any perspectives would be incredibly helpful.

Cheers
