Big4 TAS vs MO at IBABs(inbetween BBs and EBs)

What's better in terms of exit ops and salary: Big4 TAS or Middle office risk?

Is the accounting qualification worth more than transferable skills you could get at a bank MO

I am not quite sure of the career path these eventually lead to in the long term.

I was thinking about ER, Coporate finance, corporate banking,asset/wealth management, private banking or corporate development/strategy, maybe even consulting.

I know that is a lot of exit ops I was thinking about, but I am still learning about what is what in finance and markets.
