1 year in consulting and 2 years IB

Would 1 year in consulting and 2 years in IB or vice versa be more attractive to a PE firm compared to a candidate with 3 years at either?

In a position where I could pursue those options and wondering if there is a benefit due to the wider skill set obtained.

Curious to hear your thoughts

Thank you
