Top Tech Boutique vs. Consulting

I'm currently signed as a summer 2020 intern at a top tech boutique (one of LionTree, Raine Group, Allen & Co.)

I'm not looking to exit into PE, but rather into VC, PM/strategy at a FAANG or FAANG equivalent company, or a startup.

The thing is, the major consulting firms have started recruiting at my school. For exiting in this manner, would it be beneficial to re-recruit FT for MBB consulting, or would a FT top tech bank background be better? Any and all help would be really appreciated.
