The Future

So I am leaning towards a career in I-Banking, but realized I need a couple of years experience in the financial industry in order to network my way in. I was just recently offered a job at a private, but well known, fixed income shop that has many big I-Banks as its clients as a fixed income analyst, but I was also offered a job at B of A as a business analyst. I realized that B of A is a much larger company and there are more people I can network with in order to make my way towards I-Banking. But my question is, which job would look better on my resume when sending it out to I-Banks?

Can you elaborate on the fixed income analyst role?

If the Fixed Income Analyst role is some kind of a front office position...do that. If not, do BoA.
