CRA or low-tier Bank?

I have gone through the whole recruiting season and failed to secure a job at a BB. Now I got 2 offers: 1 from CRA sovereign, 1 from lower-tier bank FX strategist, both are in the city I don't really like. My goal is rate/FX strategist in NY/LD, or even MBA.

CRA is not a strategist job but I saw many people transfer to rates strategist after some years at the sovereign desk. FX research seems to be great but this bank is not doing very well and the culture is very local, which means internal mobility to other financial hubs seems less likely. Which one would you choose to start your career?
