BB Convertible Bond/Equity Derivatives Origination vs BB DCM?

Hey WSO! Recently received offers from a DCM group as well as an offer from a Convertible bond/equity derivatives team. I see myself pursuing a career in fixed income and so taking the DCM offer would be the logical move, however, the convertible bond/equity derivative team is much more quantitative than vanilla DCM. Would taking the convertible bond/equity derivative gig provide me with more exit ops into say coverage banking or other debt roles such as leveraged finance? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
