Goldman Sachs Global Markets Quant Strat vs MBB BA

Pretty much as the title says:

Goldman Sachs Quant Strat (an engineering position with cs/math combo) in the Global Markets Division in NYC vs MBB BA in Dallas


I got lucky enough to get offers for both, but I'm really not sure what to do. I study Computer Science & Math in undergrad, so I have no experience in consulting, but I've always known I don't want to code for the rest of my life either. I really want to live in NYC, but I feel like the opportunities I'll get at McK in Dallas might be a lot stronger in the long term than a non-banking role at Goldman – totally just guessing here though... what do you recommend?
