Consulting Vs IB for Tech & Tech Investing

If opting for exits into tech, more in the product or operational level rather than corp dev, or earlier stage vc/growth, which path do you think would suit me better. Am currently in IB recruiting rn but the closer I get the more I doubt if it’s really the right path for me when I don’t really care about PE or corp dev. Any color is appreciated.
