Two Offers..which to take???

I'm a non-target MBA student. To make a long story short, I've been trying to get some insight into the career options that I have.

I can get a job in BO, most likely in Compliance for a BB. I know what it entails, and so do most of you. So that's option # 1.

Secondly, I've been offered a position for a credit ratings agency selling their financial info/analytics. Salary is actually decent, but I was wondering if anyone knew ANYTHING about this career. It'd be similar to an account management position at Reuters, maybe Bloomberg, Riskmetrics, etc. I've always liked the idea of moving up in relationship mgt and becomeing a VP/Sales where you wine and dine clients. You generate rev and are an asset to the company. Anyone with experience?

I know I've asked about the second option before, but to no response and there's nothing about it in the forums.

Oh and also a possible offer with FINRA that I'll hear about soon, but that's not much of an option for me, just a backup plan. But hey, if you think thats great let me know.

If you like the credit agency position and you've got good sales skills go for it. BO Compliance sounds a bit better on paper, but they're pretty disparate functions.

Is it fitch ratings? They own Algorithmics, and sales guys selling Algorithmics' software make insane money. 15% commission and the software costs anywhere from 500k to 10mm. You do the math.
