Got 2 offers, any advice?

-Located in London -Obviously the offers I have aren't at the best i-banks like a lot of people here receive. But I think of it as a starting point. -My aim is to make it into strat consulting or preferably IB. Will do an MBA if necessary

Offer 1 Big 4 Corp Fin- M&A, ranked very high in mid market But have to start in 2018

Offer 2 One of the largest banks in UK. Significantly cut down IB division, the banks focus is retail. I could be put in IB or commercial lending. So its risky on top of job cuts. Also could be placed outside of London. Start in 2017

I would take offer 1, especially if offer 2 is RBS

Don´t say this in a banking interview: Which superhero would you be and why? I want to be like Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor - me.
