I recently interviewed for a commercial banking role with JPM as an analyst. Received an offer today. I currently work in corporate finance. The JPM is a slight comp decrease. Based on all that I am having trouble assessing my options here. JPM is great to have on a resume and some people value JPM's credit training. But what are the exit ops for CB? Can I move to PE with all the debt exposure? Any recs are welcome.

Where in corporate finance do you work? What type of role and exposure?
That's key the understanding whether the move makes sense. If your exposure is good and the firm you work at is at least pretty well known, then the CorpFin experience is probably more valuable than the commercial experience if you're trying to go into PE.
Candidly, though, neither role is a natural path to PE and you might have a rough time. Have you thought about which path you'd rather follow long-term if PE isn't an option or what other exit ops might be? Commercial is usually a pretty dead end path, with some opportunities to move into industry in certain situations. CorpFin is typically better for industry moves and general exits.
