This is tough -- Credit is a more analogous skill set with IBD, but GSAM has the FO allure. I"m honestly not sure what the best route is. My instinct is Credit as there should be good interaction with traders and maybe bankers depending on your industry group. Good luck

obviously GSAM. CRMA is a middle office support group, which offers middle office support mobility. GSAM position will allow you to move within GSAM which has a far better choice of opportunity.

Are these positions both in NY or SLC?

If the end-game is IBD (and not AM or other similar goals) then I'm not sure this is true. The GSAM skill set is just not that similar to IBD and there's not a lot of cross-pollination.
