Which offer would be better?

Have offers from a Credit Rating Agency (Moody's) for a credit rating analyst role and Bank of America for a commercial banking credit analyst role

Which offer would be better if the goal is to eventually move into IB, corporate banking, equity research, or credit research? Also, is it possible to get into IB / CB / ER from CRA or commercial banking? 

Thanks
