Personally I would take the BB job, but depends what is most important to you. Do you like the MF brand and don't mind doing O&G/TX, or do you want to be in NYC/not in energy, and don't mind doing oncycle to find your PE spot (potentially not landing MF)

No wrong answer. Just would not go for KKR thinking you'd have an easy path to their NYC funds.
