Depends on whether you prefer to be in a large company environment or smaller environment. A reconciliation role would be a good start with a more stable larger company. Plus, it could lead to many other things. An internal wholesaler role would be a higher start but with a smaller company where you may get stuck in the wholesaler role for a while before being able to move internally or externally to a larger role.
Personally if you are younger I would do the BB role. But if you are closer to your late 20s I would move to the smaller company for the internal wholesaler position.
Yes I am a recent graduate- may 2015. Early 20s. Went to a top 40 school. Just now receiving offers.
Ok. I'd go with the BB. You can always go smaller as you get older and specialize more.
