Unsure which job offer to take, please advice

Hi all,

I would need like to seek advice on the current job offers I have. My background is ~ 2 years Big 4 FDD experience and I want to eventually land a valuations / portfolio management sort of role in a PE. Currently I have 2 job offers on hand: 1) Big 4 valuations and 2) boutique IB role. 

Which role would be better for my resume to eventually land a role in PE? Thanks in advance!
