SA at BNY Mellon Investment MGMT group vs Big 4 audit (to eventually transition/ leverage into IB)

Obviously Im not in the most ideal spot - but these offers are what my efforts have allowed-given BNY acts as a custodian bank / i was just wondering which path would be smarter with a IB future in mind
