US bank corporate banking role or Morgan Stanley wealth management?

I’m a senior at a target finance school. I have the option of joining US bank as a corporate analyst or Morgan Stanley as a wealth management analyst. How do the two positions compare? WLB? Prestige? Pay? Exit ops? Opportunities within each firm?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Take the corporate banking offer. That will set you up on the lending side.
