Bail on Morgan Stanley PWM CSA Role?

Currently at Morgan with a PWM team as a CSA but started looking closer to home for jobs.  Interviewing with Bridgewater for a Trading Associate role and UBS for a direct fit CSA role, but could also leave the NY office for a transplant role at an MS branch closer to home.  Love the idea of trading with BW assuming all goes well, any advice would be much appreciated!
