Bump
It depends entirely on what you want to do with your career. If you think you find Equity Research more interesting, you should do that. If you want to be an Investment Banker, choose that.
If you have no idea, I strongly encourage you to do more research to understand what you want. Admittedly, that's hard to do without actually working in the roles, but that's also part of life and you're always going to be making decisions with imperfect data.
Put a gun to my head I'd say IB offers a bit more optionality, but (working in IB myself) I'm not sure of Ashmore's reputation. I haven't come across them, but IF they're truly a top tier ER institution (and I have no idea but haven't come across them myself), I'm then more interested in that role.
May I ask why you prefer ER than IB?
