Citi M&A NYC vs. Independent TMT SF

Currently at lower BB coverage in NYC, have received offers from the above. I am location agnostic, but am stuck between Citi M&A vs. and an Independent Advisory firm in SF (think of Centerview / Moelis / Lazard). Which would be best for lifestyle / exits? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
