portfolio administrator v corporate credit risk analyst

I'm being considered for a portfolio administrator role and a corporate credit risk analyst. The portfolio administrator pays 25 percent less approximately and the job experience is probably not as good but I would be working with ultra high net worth clients and 2 Senior VP portfolio managers which is what I'd like to be someday (I just finished CFA).

The other one involves actual financial analysis and pays more but the contracts I'd make are much just your basic bank manager and director. They also work overtime a lot. I have a friend who did this job and now works in New York as a credit risk manager. Credit risk isn't my thing in the long term though. I want equity research/investment analyst ultimately leading to portfolio management.

Basically I'd pay 15 or 20k a year to hang out with these managers. I have no idea what to do.
