big deal or small deal preference?

i'm currently staffed on a pretty big deal at the moment... however i find that i'm on the fringes of the action and am doing all the grunt work (which is to be expected as an analyst). as such, i don't really know the whole picture.

i know that whilst being involved big deals is prestigous and looks good on your resume, you are not involved nearly as much and don't learn as much as compared to a smaller deal with less staff. as such, come interview time in future, you have a less detailed understanding of your transaction. any thoughts from other analysts?
