Structured Finance in a Credit Rating agency is a great job. Have a couple of friends doing it and they like it.
From what I saw in my internship in a Quant Research Group at a Credit Rating agency, there is a lot of work life balance (being able to work from home 2-3 days a week/great hours), decent pay, chill people.
I am a little biased though since I would put in the hours now and aim for something bigger.
I would guess that it is harder to move from a Credit Agency to an ER position then vice versa so there is that.
I have not and will not read the thread or any of the comments, but just wanted to make sure you and everyone else is aware that whenever you have to ask if you're making a mistake... you're making a mistake.
Sometimes, that's true, but most of the time, a little evaluation is just good practice. If you don't consider whether you're making the right choice, then you're going to commit a lot of unnecessary fxck-ups. There's a reason for why good managers have advisors, task forces or some other type of decision-evaluation processes.

It's your life, what do you care if others might have chosen differently?
Walk your own path. Don't do what "everyone here on WSO" wants to do.
agreed but honestly they both sound like great jobs with a future, so why sweat it?
as long as you like what you do, then will be cool
totally agree
Just a rising junior but from what I've picked up:
If you enjoy your job, you'll likely do more and high quality work --> recognition --> promotion. Positive feedback loop.
