Equity Research v.s. IB for recruiting AM

Just wanna hear out from ppl in this forum

Which would land a role in L/S Equity / LO asset management firm with more ease? I know that it seems like the work you did in ER is more transferrable; at the same time, ppl tend to think of IB as a notch above ER for banks
