Megafund PE vs. Product Management

My ultimate goal is upper management at a product-driven tech company. I'm currently at BB TMT, went through on-cycle recruiting, managed to land a role at a top tech MF buyout shop. 

Is there any worth towards spending two years in this role if ultimate goal is product? Have a CS background and friends in the valley so I should be able to go directly into product out of banking, but don't know if it might be a good idea to spend two years at a MF before making the jump.
