Transaction Advisory vs. PCS Tax

I have received an offer from an upper mid tier consulting firm to do PCS tax for them. It’s essentially a tax consulting gig, but I really would hope to move to transaction advisory here or restructuring. The tax gig also has pretty high comp compared to other firms like it’s about 10k higher than the big4 offers. I also have an offer from a much smaller firm with about 1,000 employees to do transaction advisory and valuations. Which would provide a better career outlook? Thanks in advance!
