UG —> Well-Known FoF —> VC/Growth/PE?

I'm a rising junior right now and my dream is to get into the VC/Growth space as an investor. I dabbled in entrepreneurship and am passionate about helping founders turn their ideas into something meaningful.

I have an offer to a solid FoF right now for a summer analyst position. I was on the brink of accepting but I have some things in motion at BB firms for IB and PE shops (nothing confirmed) for SA 23 positions.

Would I be dumb to turn this down on a whim that I could go to a BB IB/PE -> VC/Growth/PE or should I just accept this offer at the FoF and try and leverage that for FT PE offers post grad? Or maybe return then transition after a couple years?

Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.
