Working at a Small Regional Office

Hey everyone,

I've recently found myself in the position of deciding whether or not I want to stay at my current company (BB corporate finance) where I've been for 2 years, or move on to the regional office of a European bank. Normally I wouldn't consider the move, but there are 2 things that intrigue me:

1. A 35% raise over my current salary
2. A front office position dealing with their PE business

Any of you monkeys have experience either at small companies (1000 people in this office) or regional offices? I've only ever worked at relatively large companies in their headquarters.
