Job offers advice

Hi everyone, I just received two job offers, one in Frankfurt with a local bank (not a big one) in their credit department (focuses on acquisition financing) and one with IFC (World Bank) as infrastructure investment analyst for 12 months, in a regional office (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan ecc). In Germany I would have a very high salary, around 110k (something like 5.300€ per month). The world bank would pay me around around 2.200€ per month (I am still not sure) and is a 12 months contract with the possibility to be renewed (not sure though). The job with WB seems much more interesting (I really like infrastructure) and prestigious, but is quite risky. I don't necessarily want to end up in PE, but I would like to have the chance to go in front office roles again in future (acquisition finance or debt advisory). In the past I have been in a front office role, focusing on Coverage and landing. Which opportunity would you go for?
