Would you take offer in CB at a Canadian or Structured Credit at a ratings agency?

Hi All,


I am sitting on two offers. First is CB Analyst at a Canadian bank (the CB is in the IBD). Other offer is a CLO analyst role at a ratings agency. Both positions are analyst level and both have the same comp (~120k). Both roles will require modeling in excel. Both roles involve communication with third parties: CB role will require pitching to clients (I think this is the biggest differentiator between the two roles) and CLO role will require communicating/networking with CLO managers.


What you would do if you were in my shoes and why? I am interested in anything you have to say. Which do you find more interesting? Which has better exit opps? Which would be better for networking? Any thoughts on WLB? How was your past experience in either roles? Any knowledge from friends in these roles? Anything will help.


My goals are fairly loose at this point, but I know I am interested in staying in higher finance for the next 10 years with a focus of having great income with at least a decent wlb.

Would DCM/private credit fund/asset management/leveraged finance be possible exit opps?

Thanks!
