Advice Appreciated!

Looking to get some advice on my current situation - so here goes. 

I've been with a shop for two years - it's a well-respected shop, I've learned a lot and very much enjoyed it. My team really likes me, and put me on accelerated promotion track. Buuuuuuuut, the remit of the investment mandate is fairly limited. Focused on credit investments (for mostly one type of risk / return profile (HY)) within a specific industry vertical. 

I was recently offered a new opportunity (in the same industry vertical), but with a much broader investment remit. They can do credit (incl. special sits) and equity. Team is equally strong and comp is better. The reason I interviewed at this shop originally, was the flexible mandate - it allows me to keep a steep learning curve and opens up more opportunities (longer term - at least I presume so).

If I resign I suspect my current team will try to match (/improve) on my comp.

Both roles are based in NYC


Is it better to stay at my current shop where I'm respected (and on track to do well), or is it better to make the jump to a broader role (with a steeper learning curve)? Keen to hear any thoughts/considerations!
