Family Office PE/VC Fund or Tech Corp Development?

Hi guys, 

I am trying to decide between pursuing an experienced analyst role with a family office that invests in some middle market companies and 50% early-stage VC in construction tech/PropTech in TX and a corporate development role with a $2B Tech company that does partnerships/2-3 deals a year in NYC

Which do you think would be a better career path with a good track record for getting my MBA at a good top 5 school down the line? Looking for your advice and guidance- please let me know
