Should I take the SA BO offer or continue FT recruitment?

Hi everyone. My summer is with a BB's back office. Gotten a return offer but I don't really like the role and I planned to seek a more client-facing role for FT recruitment.

I'm aiming at commercial banking or any other revenue-generating roles, but not IB/markets. Due to the covid pandemic, the FT recruitment could be harder this year.

Should I take this offer? What is the chance of me getting a more client-facing role in this year's FT recruitment? Any inputs will be greatly appreciated!
