Hi im struggling at the moment. I am based in the UK and have received an offer in Treasury Front Office for a major US corporate (ranked within top Fortune 20). I have happily signed my offer letter and awaiting my start date in three weeks time. My manager has told me 2-3 years down the line, there will be no issue for me transition to DCM at IBs should i wish to. (He personally has strong links to bankers at one major US BB) But today i just received a surprise email from JP Morgan inviting me to an interview for a role in Wholesale Credit Rsik Reporting. This seems like a middle office role but having this name on my CV will definitely be a strong boost whether i will go thereafter. Mind you it is only an invite for interview, so nothing is guaranteed.
I already submitted my resignation and waiting to start the role in Treasury Front Office. Really dont know what to do with this email from JPM. It really came at the worst timing. Advice please.
I was in a similar position a few months back. I had signed an offer for a spot at JPM and got an offer from the same company but in another division. Ultimately, you should go with whatever work you feel will help you develop your skills and will let you perform best.
If your ultimate goal is to be in IBD, stick with the F20 position. JPM is huge and it's hard to move between departments, so if you get stuck in Credit, it might take years and a shit load of networking to move into IB.
Also, it's just an interview email. You have a signed offer ready for you - you're better off than most already. Don't stress the interview too much.

As cliche as it is: A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.
Go with F20 as the interview and hire process will likely last longer than that offer.
Dude credit risk reporting isn't even credit risk. It's reporting of credit risk. More back office than middle office
