MM PE vs. BB Equity Sales

Hi I am currently a senior at one of the APAC regions (HK, SG). Received 2 FT offers.

  1. MM PE (AUM ~15 bn)
    1. European firm with very limited deal flow in APAC
    2. The pay is below market as far as I know and it specializes in unique sector, so I wouldn't call it fully PE but they label themselves as PE (more like an infrastructure fund)
  2. BB equity sales (2nd tier think BoA/Citi/UBS)
    1. The desk has pretty good presence in the region I live
    2. The pay is 1.3~1.4x the MM PE role and I kind of like the people I met last summer 

I am more of a person guy, but I am kind of afraid of the exit opps and future career safety of equity sales. I am not that ambitious in reaching top notch finance but still would want some steady good money.

Which one would be better for first career in terms of future career progression?
