What job is better? Paulson or TPG?

both are post-banking pre-MBA

Job 1: Associate at major hedge fund, i.e. Paulson & Co.
Get in very early in the morning, around 4am-5am, but can leave around 6pm-8pm
Very technical/quant, very specific, feel like I'm getting smarter, though not sure whether skills transferable.
Comp between 200,000 - 400,000

Job 2: Associate at major PE fund, i.e. TPG
Don't know what PE is like, but I assume I'd get in later, stay a bit later, and get broader business operations skills.
Not sure what comp would be, but I assume around the same

I eventually want to go to H/S bschool and then go for CEO/CFO route at F100 or start up my own thing.
