Which to take: A tier-2/3 investment bank equity research v.s. a 50m usd aum long-short HF (both in HK)?

Hi friend first time to raise question here, Forgive me if I am not following any convention right. I am a incoming fresh graduate from a top school in HK with major in finance and politics . A real growth and value investing lover. Now two offers in hand as mention above. Want to get some seasoned advice and comments on long term career prospects for each. The HF is a tiger grand cub, with growth stock focus, team headcount only 6-7, growing fast. The ibank is one of the major japanese ones with good reputation in ER. Thanks!
