Help deciding which role to go - advices appreciated!

hi guys, so i managed to get few offers from IBs around and wanted the advice from someone in the industry. 

Positions are as trading support/assistant (MO) in a BB, Quant Analyst on model risk in a BB, market risk in an oil major and market risk in a large IB (not BB). comps are similar, and ambition would be FO trading after a while. 

i think from all these position, probably Quant Model risk is the one a bit more far from FO desks whilst both the MO and market risk sit very close.  

any advice appreciated as i struggle to make decision right now

disclaimer: all these positions are London based

cheers
