Have offers from a Credit Rating Agency (Moody's) for a credit rating analyst role and Bank of America for a commercial banking credit analyst role.
Which offer would be better if the goal is to eventually move into equity research or credit research? Also, is it possible to get into equity or credit research from CRA or commercial banking?
Thanks

I knew a guy worked for Moody's as an analyst in tower 7 before the towers fell, they seemed decent.
That's the height of being in the position of a credit analyst or similar role, eventually managing a team of analysts at one of the Big Three rating agencies, the other two being S&P and Fitch. It's definitely possible to pivot to other roles if you are inside Wall Street and network with the right people or learn new skills firsthand.
I'd go with Moody's as the Big Three is really the top of the heap in that line of work. That will give you more leverage if you choose to move into a different role. Just my view of things on a practical level, feel free to disregard.
