Big 4 PF Worth It vs Banking?

Currently interning in Project Finance at a French bank and I’ve recently received an offer to join a Big 4 PF team full-time as an analyst/junior.
 

Bank hiring in France seems extremely slow right now, especially for junior profiles so there is very very low chances of offer. The Big 4 team is very well regarded locally, and I could probably try to move back to banking later.
 

That said, I’m hesitating because:

- I genuinely prefer modelling / execution work so full advisory suits me probably more

- Long-term, I’d like to lateral into infra PE so exit opss are very important

- My dream is to move to NYC as early as possible and from what I understand, Big 4 PF/advisory seems much less prestigious in the US than in Europe
 

So I’m trying to understand how people perceive Big 4 Project Finance teams:

- in EMEA (especially France/London)

- versus in the US/NYC
 

Would joining a top-tier Big 4 PF team in Europe still be a strong route toward infra PE and potentially lateraling internationally? Or should I do everything possible to stay/rejoin a French/Japanese bank even if the market is difficult right now?
 

Would really appreciate honest feedback from people who have seen both sides.
