PE deal sourcing team or Commerical due diligence

Hey everyone, I am an ACCA affiliate currently working as an Operations Associate in a PE advisory firm. I know this is a job which is quite far from what my formal education but I took this job for mastering Comp. Landscapes (client deliverables) as well as working on analytics. 


I have two other offers currently in hand. One wherein I would be working in the deal sourcing team and making Comp. Landscapes where the PE analyse or invest. 


The second is to work in a smaller PE CDD firm. I have interest in CDD but this firm is very small so was a little reluctant.  


Which career path would lead would better considering I have one year of experience (23 years old) under my belt and have expertise in finance and  accounting. 


Would really appreciate your advice.
