IB or Consulting for Tech PM?
Tech PM is the ultimate end goal for me. Should I recruit for IB or consulting to best set myself up? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

Neither
Just go directly into that
Neither, but easier from consulting (if not direct, typical consulting exits into BizOps / product ops / S&O also better for internal rotationinto PM)
Directly recruit for that or be an engineer.
Go into SWE, and transition into PM. Getting into PM without a technical undergrad/development experience is difficult
If I have no tech/software/eng. background, would it be easier to go into Tech IB or MBB to lateral into being a FAANG-type (also Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, etc. etc.) PM role down the line? I'm leaning consulting atm.
