Top S&T vs. mid-tier IB

What would you guys take at the end of the day if you were a junior right now. 

I understand the whole "it depends on what you want to do" stuff but just for career path and money etc. whats the best move. 

1. S&T at Goldman, MS, JPM

2. IB at Bank of America, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Jefferies 

Thank you so much!
