Operations or Risk Management?

My goal is to get a full-time position on a trading desk through recruiting this fall...that being said, chances are slim that this will happen.

Which of the following would give me the best chance of getting onto a desk combined with networking and probably B-school in a few years.

FT position in Ops at a BB or a FT position in Risk Management at a BB.
