So like the subject states, which would provide a better opportunity to eventually get into IBD: a back office Finance position at a BB (GS/JPM/MS) or a research analyst position for a small shop?
Any advice would be appreciated

make no mistake about it, research at a small shop.
BO is BO, and it doesn't matter where you do it. you will build a great skill set doing research
Thanks Socal for the very quick reply! I was leaning toward that thought as well.
Research in the small shop! I'm stuck in back office right now and it sucks.
