Prop tradings vs. PE

Hello,

I need to make a decision: I have two offers, the first from MS Prop Trading (Equity Derivatives) in Europe, and the second from JPMorgan partners, the PE arm of JPM.

Given that I like quant trading pretty much as much as I like finance (I have a degree in Mathematical Finance), which one of those two careers will give me better opportunities/money/work etc in the long run??

Cheers,

B.
