EB Secondaries Advisory or Private Credit Investing?

I recently received a 2024 summer analyst offer from both a top EB secondaries group and a special sits private credit firm w/ ~10-20B AUM.

How should I choose in terms of 1) WLB and pay 2) opportunities to re-recruit FT if I need to 3) chances of going to a MF secondaries / credit team down the line?

I do know that long term I'd prefer working in special situations/distressed credit over secondaries but would having an EB on my resume give me more flexibility if I end up wanting to move to a different space?
