Too Late?

I am a senior in undergrad business school and finance major. I have a full time offer for the fall at a bulge bracket in Asset Management in an investing role. I want to do PE later down the line but feel like I messed up not going investment banking route. Can you do PE from AM? Or do I need to get my MBA and then PE? Looking for some insight into the paths I have moving forward
