Which SA position to choose?

Wanted to get some opinions on which to choose. Thanks

Alternative Assets Group at an MM bank: Pros: -Interesting work (investing in hedge funds/working with structured products) Cons: -Competing with 2 other interns for the possibility of one full time spot. Both interns have worked there before, I have not. -Less pay than the BB

Credit Risk Managment at a BB (GS/MS) (not sure what product group yet): Pros: -Very good chance for FT offer based on performance -Can start right away during this semester, which I want to do -Will work with traders (I eventually want to get onto a trading desk), so it'll give me an opportunity to network with traders and hopefully laterall to a desk -Better pay Cons: -The work might not be as interesting as the work I may do at the MM bank
