Canadians: BB Canadian Bank vs US Boutique?

To all my Canadian friends, which would you PERSONALLY go for (ofc US BB is the dream but if it were between the two...)

Let's say TO for the Canadian Bank and anywhere in the US (except for NYC) for the Boutique

To be honest I'm looking into career banking a little more (maybe HF as an exit, not really interested in PE) but i'm trying to gauge what a better starting point would be. Assume a lowkey regional boutique, would probably try to lateral to a US BB or strong MM.....vs starting off in Canada at a BB/MM
