Default Hedge Fund SOC vs Govt SOC

Currently working as a vendor at a soc for one of the government agencies. Just joined 3 months back. However I realized that the work is here pretty administrative and we don’t really do any forensics/investigative work.

Few days ago I received an opportunity to join a hedge fund as a SOC analyst. Would it be better for me to join them? I think that I could learn much more there considering they’re among the top targets for cyber attacks. Work includes me being part of the IR team and do a bit of threat hunting. Pay is also better but I realize it may not look good for me to leave early as I’m at risk of getting blacklisted.

Context: Fresh grad who just graduated few months back. I’m thinking which place is better for my learning and which looks better on the resume.
