Big 5 CB vs Pension Fund RE Debt Investments

I recently started at a Big 5 in CB on a 8-month contract with guidance I will be converted soon. A family friend at a pension fund in their debt investments asked me if I want to work there after my contract is up. Long-term what route maximizes comp? What is Analyst comp at the pension funds for RE Debt investments
