If you want to do IB, then take the IB position at Rabobank. Can look into possibly lateraling out later for better buyside opportunities (still a tough job market though). The Moody’s position isn’t IB, but it may possibly lead into credit roles down the line. I think Rabobank would preserve a bit more optionality which may be important since you haven’t pointed out what you’re trying to optimize for

 

If I want a career focused within credit, which would you recommend. Obviously within Moody’s I would be focused on rating distressed companies, however, my rationale was it would be easier to lateral from Moody’s to IB (LevFin) then it would be from Rabo which is focused more on Food and Agriculture?

 

Yeah, then Moody’s would be the clear path there. In terms of risk aversion, Rabobank would be the choice since at least you’re in IB, even if it takes longer to get into the specific group that you’re interested in
