2022 SA BAML LA Genralist vs Cowen SF Tech

Today I just received an offer from BAML LA for 2022 SA, while my offer from Cowen is also expiring today!!!

BAML certainly has a much bigger brand name while Cowen has a lean deal team with great culture and I am more interested in working in tech. Any thoughts and suggestions?

Add on facts -- consider transfer to a career in APAC in tech banking industry after SA/FT in US

Thanks!
