IB at a top 5 bank in Canada or Secondaries at an Elite boutique in the US?

Hi,

I'm conflicted - I have two great offers. One is traditional IB at a top 5 bank in Canada and one is in secondaries at a top boutique in NY. I have no idea which one to go for. Everyone keeps asking me where I want to be in a few years as that'll help my decision but the reality is, I have no idea where I'd like to be after this. Working at an elite boutique in NY would be so exciting as I've always wanted to be in NY, but I worry about the exit opps. The last thing I want is to back myself into a corner by doing something incredibly niche and not knowing how to get out of it. Any insight? What are the exit opps for secondaries like?

One thing to note is I do find secondaries interesting as well, I'm just worried that if I go into it, it'll be something I have to do forever?

Thank you!
