Career Advice Needed: Commerzbank S&T vs. CME Market Risk

Hi guys,

I am entering my first job out of Master's program in econ and finance. Any advice would be appreciated. I got several offers, and I am choosing between Commerzbank NYC in sales and trading (temp), CME Group NYC as a junior market risk analyst, and Vistra Group as a fund accountant. I know that the Commerzbank job is front office with market and IB exposure, but it is a temporary position for 6 months (with possibility to turn into a full-time, but not guaranteed). I also like the CME Group offer because they are the middle person in the market, then I got to learn both sides as a trader and a market provider. But it is sort of back office. The Vistra Group job is more of an accounting position.

I have a Master in economics and finance, and want to learn more about the capital market. Now the Commerzbank offer is more appealing to me, but I am uncertain. Anyone has more info on the S&T division of Commerzbank? And how's the career outlook even if I want to move to other banks or hedge funds later? Thanks in advance, guys!
