MF Capital Markets vs EB IB

Got an offer from a capital markets team from a top MF (KKR, BX, TPG) and I don’t know if I should take that over my IB offer from an EB (EVR, PJT, CVP). My plan was to end up in PE after my IB gig, but would joining a capital markets team expedite that process? I.e. would it be easy for me to jump from CM to PE at a MF?
