BB central risk book QT- should I go?

I’m currently deriv quant at a tier 1 BB, job mostly deriv model + IT support. Pro: wlb, stability, already familiar with the people and set up, great firm culture. Con: no trading / risk management exposure, tried for a few months and cannot find buy side job. 
 

Prospective offer from a tier 2 BB central risk book quant trader. Pro: can do alpha research (so supposed to have better exit?). Con: down in prestige, no bump in base salary, probably less good culture. 
 

Can someone share their insights on the prospects of the two jobs? Help me decide should I stay or go. Thanks! 

Should I accept the offer
