Transfer Pricing in Big 4 or grad programme in bank?

I have two offers, one for the graduate programme in a big enough bank in Europe, paying well-ish and paying for my CFA, and one from a big 4 in the Transfer Pricing department, paying my CFA and my Tax exams, paying slightly less (being my first full time job, pay really does not matter).

I'd prefer the bank as in terms of work it would be more enjoyable and in line with what I wanna do in the future (strategist or something macro/market related). But, the TP offer is compelling as I did TP in my undergrad and definitely didn't hate. Moreover, more people my age(so the social side would be better) in the Big 4 firm and a sector that is definitely in demand and growing a lot. Also, more international exposure.

Can someone advise me if they have any experience in this field?

Thanks
