BB Operations vs. EY BAP (FSO)

Would appreciate your advice here..

I am currently a FT operations analyst at a BB (GS,MS,JPM), 6 months into my gig, and was just recently contacted by a headhunter. The following day we spoke on the phone and he said his client, EY, has a position available in their BAP program and that I might fit their qualifications. It will likely be in their FSO practice.

Could I get your inputs? What should I do?

Exit ops leading where? For example, I'd probably rather have EY (and be a star there) on my resume if applying to b-schools, vs. BO at a BB when all your FO counterparts would be applying to the same program, etc. Don't know too much about the programs though, I initially commented to see if your goals would bring about an obvious answer. I'll defer to others on here.

 

This is an interesting choice. You will be doing the exact same work you are doing now, possibly for the same exact bank, just at EY.

PM me if you want more info.
