Management Accounting or Risk Excellence

hi monkeys,

i am from a small European country without any BB banks. still I want to try to get into i-banking. since i have 1 more years of study over here I want to start working for a local bank to at least somehow improve my resume. i have job offers for "management accounting" and "risk excellence" (same bank). i know it's not really great at all but which position do you think would improve my chances more to end up in i-banking?

thanks

thanks Neighbor.

I have one more question:

Should I rather go for that risk mgmt position at a small local bank, or a "Retail Sales/ Marketing" position I have been offered at a BB ? I mean obviously risk mgmt > retail sales/marketing but on the other hand BB > local bank.

in other words: shitty position at BB or good position at shitty bank

thank you guys
