Regional IB vs REPE

Hi everybody,

Would love to hear your opinion about my current career options.

Would you rather go for an unknown IB regional boutique or for a nation leader REPE (Blackstone owned) constantly growing? (front office role)

Additional Info: Semi-target school, strong GPA, not tremendously fascinated by RE but I don’t dislike it either.

Regards
