two years of management consulting and two years of investment banking pre mba

Hello,

I was wondering if it makes sense to do two years of management consulting and two years of investment banking pre mba if I eventually want to move into pe post mba? Please let me know if it's a good idea, and what would be the best route to end up in a top mba program (m7) and end up in a PE firm post mba.

Also, I'm a middle eastern so I'm planning on working in the middle east only, so what are the top firms to look into?
