Is The Person Who Enters A HF Out Of 1-2 Years In Banking “Ahead Of The Game”??

If you do 2 years banking and 2 years PE (and 2 years MBA) before breaking into a hedge fund, are you technically junior to the ~24-25 year old who broke into the fund right after banking that has omegle xender already been there for a year or do hedge funds give you some seniority for having those 2 years of PE (and MBA) under your belt?

In other words, are you “ahead of the game” if you skip PE and are able to go directly to a hedge fund?
