First off congrats on two great offers, both are solid and as long as you perform and are in a decent seat, choosing between banks won't matter as much in terms of exits ops etc. as they do in IB.

That said, I would lean towards BofA for the main reason that MS historically has prioritized equities, and BofA marginally beats out on Fixed Income, at least for Rates/FX. Outdated and incomplete data, but notice that MS' focus is on Equities rather than FICC: https://www.efinancialcareers.com/news/finance/tier-1-tier-2-tier-3-investment-bank 

No idea on culture/comp progression though. Also, is this for US or EMEA? Relevant since BofA seems to have moved a lot of FICC to Paris, while MS still has a lot of EUR traders in London
