Big 4 CF vs RBS Corporate Banking

Hi WallstreetOasis

I'm new here, but have been reading a lot.

I have 2 offers, 1 being Big 4 CF, very good dealflow, but small and midcap market.
The other being RBS, Corporate Banking working with analysis and business development for the largest corporate institutions.

I am situated in the western part of Europe, I.e. close to the core business of RBS.

If my goal is to move to BB Investment Banking in London as soon as possible, which would be the better place to start, and how to move from there.

Background = non target, but very good grades and work experience.

Thanks!

Would probably take the Big4 offer since (1) you get more relevant work experience and (2) RBS has recently announced to close operations in multiple countries, if I recall correctly
