Growth Equity vs IB

Hi all, I'm currently a junior with 2 MM PE internships under my belt doing growth equity for this summer. Really enjoyed the buyout space and not sure how I'll enjoy growth equity. Would it be possible to lateral into buyout PE from growth in the future or would it make more sense to pursue recruiting for a FT IB analyst role? Any thoughts appreciated
