Some thoughts here:

1. The question here is it’s a grad program for compliance so even if it’s not IB or private banking, grad program also have a standard set of requirements. So if you make it in, shouldn’t be a big issue as it shows you are a good candidate afterall that’s why you got into one of the top banks and a grad program. There’s rotations so even if you jump ship after the grad program ends, should be able to get more opportunities and better ones.

2. IB and private banking as everyone knows brings in higher salaries, but that’s also due to the client base who are high net worth individuals.

3. Consider which you are able to learn more skills that can help for your exit opportunities too, especially if you’re at the start of your career.
