Consulting as PE Prep + Exits?

Hey Folks,

Background:

- I'm a rising senior at a top BB in their top group. For context, my IB group historically has the best exits out of the bank. We can go literally anywhere (sounds pretentious... I know)

- Frankly, I don't really like banking (primarily because of the hours)

- I'm applying for Bain & BCG (trying to work in PEG)

Questions: 

- If I go consulting instead of IB for my first 2 years, how much does that limit me in terms of PE exits?

- What are the best PE firms that recruit consultants?

- If I'm not fully set on PE as a career, is it simply just a waste of 2 years to do IB for the sake of optionality?

Thanks for the tips, team!
