Credit Analyst Offer vs. Capital Markets Offer

I am currently working as an investment analyst in the wealth management space (coming up on one year experience). I am looking to get into a more financial rewarding career. I have received an offer from one of the big banks for a credit analyst role, and an offer from a boutique for a capital markets analyst. The salaries between the two are not dramatically different, but I am more curious which career path is more rewarding / more exit opps? Thanks in advance.
