What path to take to go up the corporate ladder in BB banks? (Not interested in exit ops but utimately corporate management)

Hello lads,

So a lot of IBD analyst ask about exit ops and plan after 5years or so to join PE or HF but I'm really not interested in quitting my BB bank and go for PE whatever the amount of money I'll make or not my ultimate goal would be to go on top of a BB bank corporate ladder. What are the path and best group to start for? and does starting in a BB FIG group would help?

Cheers.
