Investment banking vs Private credit

Hi Guys I am from India and I currently I have 3 offers :

1) Investment banking at EY/Ambit  (Top IB's in India based on number of deals and deal size) 

2) Private credit at Investec


1) IB -->After domestic IB based on inputs people usually prefer to go to a domestic PE/international IB and then join a global PE fund

2) Private credit --> Investec is a global IB and people go to the Private credit division of global fund directly  


what is more lucrative in the long term? I am inclined towards numbers, understanding business, networking and ultimately earning a lot 


How should i decide between a Domestic Investment bank (Fund raising and M&a at EY or Ambit capital) vs International IB but Private credit (Investec)
