BB CB vs Nordic IBD

Gotten offers for my first job for corporate banking at a bulge bracket bank at a Nordic office as well as for IBD at a Nordic bank in the same city. Nordic bank is top tier in the region with great exposure to the highest profile Nordic deals. Have done an internship at the Nordic bank and enjoyed everything except for the hours which is why I turned my head toward CB. Wondering what I would be giving up if I go the CB route, in terms of e.g. exit opps, and whether the BB fact weighs up for not going the IBD route which generally yields the better exit opps.
