Investment Analyst at a Trust vs Investment Analyst at large asset management firm

Could anyone give input as to the differences between the roles? From what I understand there is a wealth management element to the IA at the trust since it's managing HNW clients. Is there anything inherently better or worse in terms of the reputation/exit opps between the two? Could the IA role at the trust be a good segue to equity research/fixed income research roles? Thanks for any input
