FDD -> VC discussion

To make this as short as possible, I recently received an offer to join a top VC shop in my country (EMEA) after doing 1 year of big4 FDD.
My previous plan was to do 2 years FDD (and receive the CPA)->IB->PE/HF.
Would taking this VC route after only 1 year of FDD take a hit on my career? Should I stay on the original plan if my priorities were A)future compensation B) international flexibility C) building a good MBA profile.
Any insights would be massively helpful
