Investment banking by a mile
If you want to maximize your odds of a PE offer, IB at any reputable bank is a better bet than consulting. You just need to look at most PE funds team pages and see where everyone came from to see IB is the highest percentage play here.
Only caveat is that if “IB” really means financial advisory at a smaller firm without name recognition, maybe Bain PEG could do more for you. But if it’s traditional IB, no question.
IB. You can certainly do PEG -> PE (I did it from McKinsey) but if you’re a finance hardo, do the traditional route.

IB if it’s M&A and not DCM, ECM, etc.
