Big 4 Strategy Consulting Intern to Investment Banking Intern

Hello all. I was wondering if I can get some opinions on my situation. I am a sophomore at a target school (part of their college of arts and science school not business school) who has secured a strategy consulting internship at a Big 4 Firm for this summer. I still want to recruit for banking my junior year, so my question is am I at a disadvantage doing strategy consulting for Summer 2022 rather than working at a BB or boutique? Would it have been wiser to work in the Big 4 Firm's advisory group instead? My end goal is to work in private equity. Thank you all in advance.
