PE analyst vs BB IB analyst long-term career impact

I have the option of either starting as a full-time analyst at a UMM PE firm (flagship fund is 5B+) in 2023 or applying for 2023 full-time analyst roles at BBs. The PE job is in a tier-2 European city, while the IB analyst roles I would apply for are in London. I do not want to be in IB long-term. Instead, I would like to work in growth equity, VC, MF PE, or corp dev at a late-stage startup.


Would choosing the PE job hurt my chances of exiting to growth equity, VC, MF PE, or corp dev after 2-3 years?
