IB Training v. PE Training

Hello all. I have been lucky enough to receive a couple of BB/EB offers recently, and want to accept. However, I recently received an offer to interview with General Atlantic. I was wondering whether, if my long-term plans are geared towards eventually moving to PE/GE, it is worth trying to interview at GA and going directly into Growth Equity. Is IB training preferred/better?

Also, what is the reputation of GA. Is it a top MFish sort of firm? How is the comp relative to MF?

Thanks guys.
