Stay at GS or go to mid tier MF

This thread has been incredibly helpful for me as I navigated my career and wanted your help. 

Currently a second year analyst at top GS classics group in NYC (received top bucket rating end of first year). Have an offer at a solid MF (think Apax / CVC / LGP / EQT / Onex). 

I am doing really well at GS and believe I am getting a great experience / getting cold feet as I approach end of my analyst stint. Any thoughts for people who decided to stay and whether it is advisable? 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Onex is a good fund. They pay well and good learning experience
