MM IB vs MM PE Out of Undergrad

Hi everyone,

Curious to hear your thoughts on starting out in MM Investment Banking vs MM Private Equity out of undergraduate.

As of now, I'm not sure where I want to be down the line but the buy-side has been appealing to me as of late although I never had any interest in it earlier.

Thanks in advance!
