Chicago vs. NYC Bulge Bracket Opportunities

What are differences in deal flow, deal type, and exit opportunities for GS/MS/JPM in Chicago office vs. New York?

From my understanding compensation is equal but goes further in Chicago. I only plan to spend two years in banking so care more about what doors it opens up. Thanks for your help!
