Need career advice: reinsurance or credit rating

Hello to everybody, I am about to graduate from university (master's degree) and received two offers: 1) junior (entry) position in one of the top 3 credit rating agencies 2) trainee position in one of the top reinsurance companies: involves rotation in their insurance, reinsurance and asset management business+ rotation abroad ( the program provides complete flexibility in the choice of working areas)

Their conditions (e.g. salary) are more or less the same. However, since I don't have much prior experience, it is hard for me to decide on what i really want to do. I would greatly appreciate if you could share your opinions (especially if smb has experience in these areas)? what are career opportunities? exit opportunities?

Thank you all for help in advance.
