Pb vs IB

So I eventually want to go into the buy side, as I have always been passionate about investing. Would private banking be best to eventually get into an investment fund (hf, pe, am, or even vc, not sure yet, I’m interested in all of them) since it is more of an investment role, or would Ib be the best path?

There’s a good chance that the most widely used sentence on this forum is something along the lines of “IB to PE/HF”. There’s also a good chance that the phrase “Private banking to PE” has been used less than 10 times ever.

I used to do Asia-Pacific PE (kind of like FoF). Now I do something else but happy to try and answer questions on that stuff.
 

Qui incidunt qui eum qui. Ex autem beatae neque molestiae ut labore asperiores. Qui qui aut deserunt doloremque possimus omnis odit. Dolorem non quasi aspernatur quibusdam. Voluptatem fugit velit ea molestiae sequi et.
