Ok, so I have a full time offer from a investment research company or a short-term internship at a hedge fund (with no definite full-time afterwards).
If my ultimate aim is to get into a HF, which one should I take? Would it be easier to to jump when doing a short-term internship with low pay, or a proper full-time at a research firm for a year and than make a jump?

No expert, but definitely take the internship at HF if your ultimate goal is HF. You will achieve the following by doing so:
Pay should not be a consideration at all. See it as school and try to learn as much as you can. If you get a great position down the line it will be irrelevant.
Many thanks! Had similar thought process - very strong points!
