Accept back office offer from GS/MS/JP, or local middle market IB firm?

I currently have an offer from GS/MS/JP to work in operations full time, or a local MM IB firm that is not top 50. 

I have been told GS/MS/JP have excellent mobility programs but I would have to wait 2 years before moving within the firm. What would you monkeys do?
