DCM FIG vs DCM Corporates?

What are some of the differences in skillsets from the two groups? If you had an option between the two groups, would you go with FIG or Corporates?

I have the opportunity to join a DCM FIG group, but I am worried that my exit opps/skillset will be limited compared to a Corporates group. Is this a legit concern or is anything in DCM all the same?
