Trade Support Analyst vs Prime Brokerage Ops Analyst

Hey guys, New joiner here. Recently I have been offered two position A. Trade Support/ Trading Services Analyst at JP and B. Prime Brokerage Ops Analyst at MS Both are very nice offer and I would really like to ask some help before deciding. A bit of background I have always wanted to become a trader myself in the future and get to work in the front office. So the questions are - Which role is better in a whole? - Understand both are very operational and mundane, but which one would be a bit more interest? - Both positions involve trade settlement, what is really the big difference between them ( Trade support involve capture, settlement, allocation and able to check trader's log vs prime brokerage ops only trade settlement/ allocation, genereate statement etc? ) - Which one has a better exit opportunities?

Thank you so much guys
