Merrill CFO vs. KPMG Transaction Services

Any thoughts everyone? I have an offer from both, and I am leaning more to TS. I doubt I will learn anything valuable in the CFO program, and know many people in banking who have worked for the big 4 before going to banking...What are your thoughts?

 

Definitely go with KPMG TS - that is pretty much the best group they have (other than Corp Fin) and you will learn very relevant skills for banking, while Merrill CFO is straight back-office. Whether you are looking to move into IB, or just stay in the position, either way you should take KPMG hands down.
