MF Structured Credit vs Restructuring IB

Title says it all - just received an offer from both for summer analyst position and don't want to rerecruit for full time(assume I would work here full time and get return - historically had high return offer rate). The megafund is (KKR, Blackstone, Carlyle) I'm interested in both and wanted to get a public opinion. The RX bank is (Moelis, Greenhill, PWP). Both are in NY.

 

Tbh I know its misguided to say this, but I like PE and special situations cause it seems super interesting - but, it's also a MegaFund shop which is really accredited. I'm shallow because megafund is a big deal, but I know that my bank exits well into UMM/MM PE/special sits. As a result, I'm genuinely confused on what to do.

 

Eh don't get caught up in the prestige though, really think about what you want to do, does structured products at a MF help you get there? As an extreme example you wouldn't take HR at Blackstone if you want to do PE just because its Blackstone
