Deciding between a structuring IB role at a smaller bank or a modelling/analytics team (i think this is middle office) at a bigger bank.
If I were to go to the bigger bank I would eventually want to change teams into a front office role but this could be years wasted doing something I don't enjoy/the switch is also not guaranteed.

front office role no questions asked. it's much more relevant than a middle office job
FO at the smaller firm then lateral.
I've never believed in lateralling within the firm because if you want to do that, you're already at a disadvantage in the eyes of HR.
If what you really wanted was to be in X position then why you applied to Y and made people within the team lose time training you + you made the bank spend twice the time and resources to fill 1 position.
