Does which MBB matter out of undergrad?

Does which MBB you go to out of undergrad matter in regard to exit opportunities? 

I've heard that you will get similar opportunities across all of them, and you should just go to the one you vibe with best. However, for example, if Bain does less work in the healthcare space, does that limit optionality for exiting into a healthcare/LS roles for startups, PE/VC, etc. or is it still roughly the same across firms? 

Would any current/former MBBers be able to comment about their experiences on this?
