Where to start off at? Propshop vs Goldman Sachs?

If I have offers from a small propshop (~125k), Goldman Sachs securities and Goldman Sachs investment management division, which is the most advisable to take? (Is there anyway to negotiate goldman offers? I tried googling a few things to no success). I want something with the greatest number of opportunities. Is it hard to go from bank to propshop vs propshop to bank? Which division in GS would it be better to start off in? Any advice would be great!
