Capital market MO vs Credit Analyst

Hi guys,

I recently received two offers from different banks. One is a Credit Analyst role, focusing on analyzing the credit of small- to mid-sized businesses and underwriting loan. The other is a Middle Office position in the Capital Markets division, mainly involving supporting the daily processing, confirmation, and settlement of fixed income trades, ensuring smooth transactions and resolving any trade issues.

In the future, I plan to pursue a master’s degree (MFin or MBA) and eventually move into a Front Office role like S&T/IB/ER. Could you please share your advice on which offer I should accept?
