Public Finance IB or FA

I'm having a hard time choosing between public finance IB in Alabama or Public finance FA in Richmond, VA. I prefer living in Richmond, but I'm guessing experience in banking is better than the advisory side for public clients. Also, if I choose Alabama, will I be stuck there?
