Big FI shop vs local PE shop

Hi all. I've been out of college 6 years after graduating with a BA in math.

I worked a year in investment consulting, 3 years in performance reporting for a mutual fund co, and last two years in wealth management. I've never taken too deep of an interest in investments and finance, so I've not developed the kind of area-specific knowledge that I could have if I tried harder. I have fortunately gained a lot of technical skills (Excel, VBA, Alteryx, Python, etc.)

Anyway, I've just wrapped up final interviews at two places.

Option 1 is a large (1,000+ headcount) fixed income shop. Pay is a bit crap, temp-to-permanent position, and it's account management (transfering assets and making sure accounts are set up properly, ready to be invested and such). 

Option 2 is an alternative/private equity firm, much smaller (around 300). Pay is better, permanent position, and it's much closer (40 minute drive each way versus 1 - 1.5 hours for Option 1). 

Any advice? I think both jobs will be equally interesting (or equally uninteresting), just want to see what kind of finance-specific questions I should be asking myself.

Thanks
