Barclays S&T vs BofA S&T vs Credit Research

Hi all, finished up recruiting for 2027 and was lucky enough to get offers for BofA and Barclays S&T, as well as a buy-side credit research role at a large asset manager, and wanted to get some input as to what would be the best option. For context, I think I would definitely enjoy S&T more as I love the markets, but I think the credit research role may have a higher salary/potentially better exits. As for what desks I think I could be interested in, I like fixed income particularly high yield/distressed, and securitized products. Thank you in advance!
