ER at BB or IB at MM - London

Hi,

I’ve been fortunate enough to receive two full time offers in london: one in Equity Research at a top BB, and the other one in M&A in a reputable MM (Macquarie, BNP, RBC).

Which one would be the best choice? End term goal to work in MM PE (also considering Growth, Credit, L/S Equity).

Thanks all!
