CADP/Operations at J.P. Morgan vs Corporate (Commercial) Banking at Barclays

Hi all,

I'm a little torn at the moment between 2 offers and would appreciate any advice.

I did the summer internship with JPM in Bournemouth in their Corporate Analyst Development Program and received a grad offer. It's a rotational program basically back/middle office (rotations like process improvement, analytics etc.) It is in Bournemouth though which is an operations and tech hub.

My other offer is for the Corporate Banking grad scheme with Barclays in Manchester. From my understanding it would be servicing clients with a £6.5m revenue all the way up to PLC. It is a client facing role.

Any advice on which is 'better'? (I am most interested in what doors each of them will open/ close along with any other general info)
