Germany or Emerging Markets Internship?

I am a student from South America in Germany, currently beginning the 4th out of the six bachelor semesters. I am trying to decide here and would appreciate any input. My final objective is to get a FT position at a BB in Frankfurt, which of the following do you think would contribute the most to that goal:

  1. SA at a top BB in my home country (assume any South American country)

  2. SA at a MM in Germany.

  3. Internship at a small PE firm in Germany

Thank you in advance!

 

I am leaning towards the two offers in Germany, out of those the MM. I say this because from what I know, knowing your region is extremely important in Europe outside of London, and as a South American candidate, that will prove you are familiar with German style of business, language, and culture
