Baird IB vs. Goldman PWM

I'm currently getting my MBA. Have an offer with Biard IB gov and defense group based in DC. Also have an offer to join Goldman PWM in miami. Having a hard time deciding between the two. I like the career optionality I get with IB. But I also like the Goldman brand, better lifestyle, and big upside doing PWM at Goldman. Any thoughts appreciated
