Normally I'd say DCM -- even though FLDP is more transferrable, the ability to lateral within the bank from DCM is better -- but I have no idea what a "regional" office for DCM is.
Definitely DCM (particularly if the BB is strong in that group, i.e. JPM, BAML) and you can lateral into Lev Fin or other groups later. DCM will also give you broader industry exposure. Regional office for DCM is probably something like Chicago or Houston.

Thanks for the advice. I guess regional office wasn't the best way to describe it -- think GS in Salt Lake. This is the only BB in this city. The entire team I'd be working with in DCM are in NYC but I'd be sitting in the regional office. Ability for mobility to NYC or other groups internally after 2 years.
Salt Lake? Are you sure you arent doing risk for DCM?
It isn't GS in Salt Lake. That was an analogy it is a BB office that is similar to that office. And yes, I'm sure it is a DCM Analyst role.
Even still, I am skeptical...I've worked at two BBs and neither had any other DCM offices in the US outside NYC.
this is investment grade origination,correct?
Feel free to PM me the city/bank/job description if you don't want to share more specific details in the forum.
Keep us posted.
If it is truly a DCM analyst role, take it. That will be better if you wanted IBD down the line.
