HF <---> PE Internships

So I'm currently interviewing for a few internships, aHF, a boutique M&A firm, and aPEfirm, and whilst I'm currently leaning towards theHFas I think I see myself best suited to public markets in the long term, I am also very interested inPE。I've seen a few other posts on here implying a difficulty in jumping fromHFtoPEdue to a perception of a lack of transaction skills.

My question therefore is whether or not this is just the case for those wanting to move across years into their career, or whether it applies to internships as well.

I'd love to, hypothetically, do theHFinternship and then do aPEinternship afterwards and give myself options into both, and so I want to make sure I'm not pigeonholing myself too early on. For reference, I also have 6 months of M&A internship to date.

Appreciate any advice on this.

chimp55, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Does the timing matter though? Wouldn't aPE如果您最近实习,公司会感到有些困惑HF申请之前FTPErole for example? Or can you always just reason that you were experience gathering prior to taking aFTrole?

Yep all good I would say, for better safe than sorry, make sure it is a high qualityHF经验,而不是没有人会尊重的垃圾座位。我会在HFandPEwhichever is better... if we're comparingBXto some guy with $10mm he's investing, takeBX。If we're talking somePE以$ 50毫米的资金和一个从未完成交易的人对老虎全球,然后您带老虎(或任何人)

我亲自实习PE, also did a consulting (T2 firm) internship, and am currently interning at a small L/SHF

Main problems I see are related to:

  • hard to tell a story of why this/that - if you then want to move to anything else you better be able to give a solid reasoning
  • you may be a less competitive candidate vis a vis candidates who have specialised in something (done couple internships on the same area)

All in all, I still think that it can be a good think to intern in different places, get exposure to different things, and truly figure out what you want to do full-time!

Hope this somehow helps.
