need some advice! bulge bracket dcm (goldman/jpm/bofa) or mid tier middle market (piper sandler/truist/baird)

need some info on what would be better. for reference, the bb dcm role is in new york, while the other role is not in new york (or chicago). for the middle market role i'll be placed in a coverage group, not sure which. any advice on exit opps, ability to lateral, and overall career trajectory would be great. thanks!
