Private Credit, Loan Syndications or M&A

As title says, currently have landed offers with 3 firms and deciding which one to take. Private Credit is at a top player with strong dealflow within Asia. If I do take up the offer I will be involved not just with private credit investments, but also monitoring of current investments as well as fundraising for a third fund so that does sound pretty good. Loan Syndications and Originations offer is with a top player in the APAC loans market and one of the big 3 local banks in my country, will be extensively involved in the whole loans syndications process, including things like roadshows and pretty sure dealflow is good as well. Very last offer is M&A corporate finance at the best big 4 practice in my country, all your usual M&A stuff and from the recent deals closed last year sounds like they have a good thing going as well. I’m aware that they will all have different pros and cons depending on what job I’m looking to do in the future, but if I’m absolutely trying to minmax my returns in terms of learning and prestige which place should I be going for? I come with background from a boutique investment bank doing M&A and capital raising, hence the loan syndication and private credit roles do seem more attractive in terms of trying something else before applying for my penultimate year summer. Appreciate any inputs!
