This question depends entirely on what is important to you. Are you someone that prioritizes being at the top of your field or are you comfortable in a lesser recognized role but maybe happier in your day to day life
Coach
Probably depends on how open they are to work remotely with you. In non-Covid times I would have recommended to hang out at the bigger office regularly to get to know the people.
Mentor
Doesn't matter if the group is small if you like the partners and they have strong books. But do think about how limited exit opps might be in the smaller situation.

It completely depends on what is going to make you the happiest. No matter where you go you will be working a lot. So you are going to want to like the people you work with.
I will say that I stayed in a small city that I love and I’m glad I did because I have really needed the support system of my family and friends to get me through my first year of practice. It would have been much harder to start this career in a new city. But I also don’t have big aspirations to make partner at a top firm. I want to do interesting work, but have time for life as well.
