Quant vs Market Risk to FO - where's better to start

morning all. Im struggling to decide between two offers, one at BB for Model Risk Quantitative Analyst covering all asset classes the other one for Front Office Market Risk (still 2lod but involved in all the trade phase from pre to post) in the asset class ive been covering so far , in a less prestigious bank but with more exposure and based in the trading floor. 


the first has established franchise and is best in class for quant positions, however it still sits under risk and Im not sure how much FO interaction it has. 

the latter has new team with top MDs coming from BBs and being in the trading floor sitting next to trader I guess would give me more exposure on the business and possibility to eventually lateral


what are your thoughts? many thanks
