Pivoting from Big 4 Audit to Banking

I'm in a conundrum right now with what to do with my job offers. For a bit of background, I go to a non-target university and will have an accounting and finance degree, decent resume experience, extremely personable, and hard working but not naturally smart. I graduate in December and will start studying for my CPA before starting work (can change with job start times) and plan to pursue the CFA I currently have an offer in the Assurance practice at a Big 4 accounting firm, comp is low 70's. I recently received an offer from Alvarez and Marsal to work in their Financial Valuations group, comp is high 70's plus supposedly around a 25% bonus. In terms of Exit ops for Private Equity or Banking, what would be a better option to go with?
