MS FSE vs. BAML Corp Banking

Hi Everyone!

I got offers from Morgan Stanley FSE (does internal m&a and internal consulting) and BAML Corp Banking. The pay is exactly the same, but I'm wondering about exit opps in terms of business school or IB later. Which is the better job offer? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

i don't think fse is considered a support role. they're mainly involved with m&a for the firm, new business development, strategic assessment of existing business divisions etc.
