Credit Risk at a BB vs. M&A at EB

Hello fellow monkeys, I received offers to join as a full time analyst either the Credit Risk team at a BB (GS/MS/BoA/JPM) or the M&A team of an EB (Lazard/Guggenheim/PWP).

Which of these options would be the best for international mobility, a career in private equity or private credit? Or LevFin / RX switch?

Why doe? isn't it easier to join a BB, do 1-2 years of Credit Risk, then move to a LevFin team?
