Accept an offer in PwC strategy or do a master in private equity & venture capital with an internship guaranteed

Dear all,

I am a 27 years old engineer with 2+ years of experience in startups working as a project manager.

My end goal would be to work for a PE firm.

I have received a scholarship for a master in private equity and venture capital organised by KPMG and a not-well known private university in Barcelona that guarantee a stage in a small PE/VC fund (http://www.uic.es/en/studies-uic/ade/master-degre…).

The other option will be to accept an offer as an associate management consultant in PwC and do an MBA after 2-3 years for then try to step into PE.

Do you have any suggestion?
