Is it worth to work in Ops at MS or KYC analyst

Let me give you some background information about myself: I did not attend a top university, I do not have a very high GPA, nor do I have any previous experience in investment banking (I realized I wanted to work in investment banking after finishing university). Right now i'm preparing the CFA level 2

I have been offered the opportunity to work in Operations at Morgan Stanley, but I would have to move outside my country and it is a completely on-site job. I wanted to ask you what the opportunities are after finding a job in front office, even if it is a small boutique, or opportunities in operations.

I have another opportunity to work at an online bank like Revolut as a KYC, which would also require me to move outside my country, but they are giving me the opportunity to work remotely several days a week and I have four months to work from anywhere in the world, so I could return to my country for a large part of the year.

Which option would you choose?

What do you want to do? I have some friends at MS some banks a person knows more people at and there is a revolving door between certain banks. What do they want you to do. Things to look for COs aka consent orders what they tools they use and how recent management is.  Etc. happy to answer what I know.  But you need to be comfortable with the role and its trajectory.
