How to gameplan for entering PE/VC

I'll be entering a consulting role soon in SF. I'm fresh out of college and interested in the PE and VC space (moreso VC tbh). I'm curious as to what the general recruiting process looks like for PE and VC? What does its timeline look like and firms can a consultant realistically shoot for?
