Which offer to take?

Hello.

I am choosing between two different graduate offers. My ultimate goal is to work in a global macro hedge fund.

S&T at a BB

L/S at a big multi-manager HF

On the one hand, I really don't enjoy fundamental equity investing, I very much prefer macro-driven strategies, which makes me prefer the S&T offer (where I'm likely to get on a FICC trading desk). On the other hand, the opportunity to directly start on the buy-side at a reputable shop is very tempting, but I wonder if I risk getting pigeonholed in Long-Short/Equity strategies.

Thank you.
