I don't have an answer for you, but something to think about is this:
Always consider the background and context of the person who's giving you advice.
They may be smart, successful, and experienced, but they're not immune to bias.
If you're speaking with a YC alum or anyone in the VC world, of course they'll suggest talking to VCs. If you're speaking with someone in the finance/banking industry, of course they'll side with the banking deal.
This includes members of HN, too. Hopefully you're able to take all the advice with a grain of salt and make a decision that you feel is right for you.
