Is there any disadvantages to taking a hedge fund role as a graduate versus a an IB offer?

Are there any distinct disadvantages of taking a hedge fund graduate programme offer versus a traditional IB offer? Both offers would be for the London office.

Becoming a skilled investor is the goal in the long term but I am curious if anyone thinks I would be missing out on anything of value by not working in IB first?
