Continue CF Role on Buy-Side or Wealth Management at a BB?

Hey all, right now I'm doing a strong CF rotational at a buy-side AM (Blackrock/Fidelity/Vanguard) with 1 YoE out of college. Getting experiences in FP&A, Treasury, and a couple other modeling / data science groups. Floating for something better paying and haven't been super far in the process of recruiting. MCOL city. 

Recently, I received the opportunity to start as a WM Analyst at a Top BB in the same MCOL city. Should I stay in MO and continue to float around for similar, better paying opportunities at other Banks/Institutions, or essentially hit the reset button and start in WM instead. 

Currently I make 70+12k at this role, this BB role will pay about 85+6-10k (from what I've collected). Essentially what I'm asking is, should I continue on this current path, or is there better scale and more lucrative exits in WM? Any advice would be very helpful.
