Non-target of non-targets: CCA at community bank v. tax associate big 4

Hi guys,

Senior graduating from non-target in December. Have a few public accounting offers and one commercial credit analyst offer from a community bank (900m aum). I am looking for suggestions on career moves. I know the first job is important and am unsure if it's better to get experience that's more transferable (CCA) or if I should go with the better brand and use that as a higher platform to transition from.

I know none of the roles I have currently available are ideal, but I'm interested in your thoughts on which create a more compelling narrative for when I look to really grind to make moves into high finance/PE/IB.

I am thinking I'll want an MBA and I'm not worried about test scores or extra curricular activities, but I am seriously concerned about getting work experience that helps my application.

All thoughts and perspectives welcome.

Thanks.
