GS quant role vs JPM quant role. Which one should I choose?

JPM quant role appears closer to FO type work whereas GS role seems more relevant to corp finance. The former makes more sense right ? if I intend to switch to buyside?

Do you want to work in Mumbai? Is the Goldman Strat role in NYC?

NYC office > Mumbai office for prestige, career opportunities, networking, $$$.

Unless the JPM role is very attractive to you, and you are indifferent between Mumbai/NYC, I would take the GS role because of the above. I would imagine it is much easier to switch jobs (more job openings, more companies) in NYC.
