I think it depends on when / what you want to exit to.
If you want to go two years and out, I would think deal flow is better. If you want to actually stay in IB, I would think you should stick with your interests.
Further, I can't imagine switching at the analyst level is very difficult, it's all modelling and putting together books. If you try to switch at the MD level, that's probably less likely.

Will joining a high deal flow HC team restrict my ability to do tech VC?
