Trading in Nomura VS Structuring in US BB

Which one would you guys choose? Both positions are in Asia. Both in FICC. The trading in Nomura seems to be expanding in Asia. The structuring in the US BB is strong and stable. Will it be possible to move to trading internally? Trading is always my first choice, but I dont know how the future of FICC trading will be. Thx.
