Three Offers, Need Help Deciding

I have several opportunities that all happened at once and need some help making a decision. I am interested in all of them although they are all pretty different. Any advice is appreciated.

Option 1: Associate at Commercial Finance Bank – Asset Based Lending

Option 2: Equity Sales Associate at Regional Boutique                      

Option 3: Jr. Investment Grade Credit Trader at MM 

All are in NYC and I don't think I'd be unhappy with any of them. Just looking for general advice, pros/cons, while making my decision.

Personally, I would go for option 3. I feel like that option would help you expand into higher roles in the future, but at the end of the day its down to what your interests and fields you want to work in. From what I heard Credit Traders are highly regarded.

 

Same salary for all three?
