BB MO vs. CRA Corporate Strategy Offers

Hello Everyone,

Which opportunity would lead to a better exit opportunity towards BB FO roles down the line? Or what are the potential exit opps?

BB is a middle office role doing non IT projects (process innovation, project management) for all business units within the firm whereas CRA is a corporate strategy role for a rating agency in which you'd be exposed to credit market. This is a post-MBA role.

Thanks for the tip

Anyone have any additional insight to share on what other exit opportunity may exist from a rating agency corp strat role? I will be exposed to credit market with credit training etc.

Goal is to be in a FO role at a BB or AM shop-- Prior experience includes working at a well respected strategy consulting working on corp strat & dev projects.
