Decision offer: RBC capital markets (not coverage) versus Baird/WB/HL coverage (non-nyc)

I really don’t want to be in Chicago, whereas RBC is in New York. I really don’t want to leave NYC but I’m also worried about getting siloed into a capital markets function as well.

Any tips on what I should choose? Not rly thinking about banking exits more so which I could potentially lateral into an NYC coverage position, be that at RBC or elsewhere.

I have 4 days so any help would be amazing!!
