GS PWM Vs Ops in a Boutique Bank

I graduated this year and just got two ft offers - one is GS Ayco PWM (idk but technically it's more like a gs subsidiary?) and the other is a Loan ops job in a global Boutique Bank.

I know a lot of people in this forum may not consider either of them but I decided to take what I've got so far and will try to find other better opportunities later.

Which would be better to leverage for FO in the future? Any Exit Oppo for both options?

Background of me:

a semi-target school student and I were unable to do my junior internship (canceled due to COVID), so Im very grateful for what I got rn.

I was a passionate sophomore eager to break into IBD, but reality just slapped me in the face and made me realize it would be extremely difficult for someone who's lack network connections and a solid IBD internship bg...

And now my career goal is basically to move up the rank (i know it's cliche) and hopefully if someday (maybe after MBA) I can move to FO.

Thanks in advance!!
