[Need Help] GS Middle Office Ops vs SuperMajor S&T

Hi all, I am in a dilemma...

I'm currently an intern at an oil major in a trading and shipping prog. Having thoughts on quitting as I am relatively burnt out working about 60-70 hrs weeks of pretty manual/mundane work. I get exposure to physical trading and get to engage with traders almost on a daily basis but my task is generally manual. I am unsure if I could make the cut for conversion at the end of the internship as I am relatively burnt out halfway through the prog.

At the same time, I have obtained an offer from a BB securities division but it seats in the middle office/back office.

As I am relatively new and lost, I would appreciate if anyone could offer some advice whether I should persevere in my current position or make the jump. Thanks..
