Underwriting Analyst at a Lender or Credit Analyst at a Bank?

Which would you prefer and why? Underwriting analyst has a direct path to being an Underwriter and an indirect path to Originator while the Credit Analyst seems to have a direct path to a Relationship Manager. I'm thinking better pay but more hours at the lender than the bank as well. Anyone have any knowledge to which would be the more sought after path?

 

Kind of hard to tell, I'd probably personally go for the underwriting role to get more consistent exposure to new deals, would help a lot of acquisitions down the road later on.
