I would go with what you’re passionate about and look to this as a safety net. It’s one thing to join a family business that you’re deeply integrated with and excited by versus finding out about a hidden car that you’ll need to learn how to upgrade let alone drive. More reps at a larger shop will help you in the long run anyways.

Not to be facetious, but one nice thing about privilege is that it doesn’t go away. It should encourage you to take risks. Best of luck!
