Infra/Climate PE exits: Project Finance vs IB vs MBB

Hi all,

Sophomore at a target going for SA 27. Have an offer in hand from a Project Finance group at a BB (JPM/BofA), and an upcoming SD at an EB in Houston. What's the best pathway for greatest leverage in the infra/climate space mid-career? (PF/Houston or NYC boutique/MBB?) And is it worth turning down this PF offer for hopefully getting a later offer?
