Choices

For someone (younger bro) who has no idea what they want to do, would you recommend taking an IB offer at an EB (Lazard/Evercore) in Houston or Real Estate Asset Management at a MF in New York? Goal is to make as much money as possible and no idea what he wants to do in a few years. Open to buy side, corp dev/strategy, or tech. Which offer is best for that? Would appreciate any insight.
