BB PWM vs small S&T ?

hey folks. have a dilemma, need some opinions:

currently work as a money market trader at a small european bank in NYC. potential for landing a job at a high-quality BB's private bank. from what i gather, i'd be setting rates (giving bids) on deposits at the private bank.

i'm currently a trader, i want to stay a trader, but i feel like my career is not advancing at all and there's nowhere to move at my current bank. the BB job has great name, and it is a market-oriented role, but it's not trading and i am uncertain as to what it could lead to. at my current job i trade hundreds of millions of dollars (in depos and fx, lolz), at the bb job i would just be giving people rates.

also, to throw a wrench into the mix, i am waitlisted at nyu for f/t this fall.

any guidance offered would be great!

I'm not totally clear on the BB role, but if comp isn't where you want it to be and there is no sign of advancing go to the BB. Should be good name on the resume for credibility and possibly move internally to whatever you want to do.
