Big 4 M&A Tax Over IB

I'm a sophomore at a semi-target majoring in econ (minoring in acct) and am deciding whether to go into IB or Big 4 accounting. I want to eventually start my own firm and think that if I work in taxes, I could start my own accounting firm after 5-6 years. I'm not really sure if working in IB would give me any applicable skills to open up a business. So even if I could get a MM or BB IB internship, should I still go to Big 4 accounting?
