BB Corporate Banking or International Bank DCM? - Urgent

What would be better on the resume? Honestly no clue what I want to do post banking (don’t think PE), but wasn’t sure what would give me a better experience/more flexibility.

Think Deutsche/Barclays type BB CB, or BNP/HSBC/TD DCM.

It is a question. DCM, along with ECM, is the worst product group with abysmal exits. At least with Corp banking you can lateral into IB or any of the products group assuming you do your homework and network appropriately
