Deciding Between 2 Commercial Banking Job Offers

I have two different offers and was wondering if anyone could weigh in on them

1. Big 5 Bank (Canadian) Commercial banking development program in T3 city average comp, 9-12 months of training then straight into a RM role

2. Large Canadian credit union commercial banking analyst in T1 city in construction financing, great culture and friendly people (worked there before as intern) avg comp

The hard part id #1 gets me right into an RM role which is where I want to be but I've been told construction financing work experience is hard to get and is very valuable is there any truth to this? Thoughts?
