Career Advice: Goldman Sachs Ops or Citi Consumer Business Group

I need to decide between two offers: Goldman Sachs Ops or Citi Commercial Business Group: (provides a range of innovative products and services to meet the financial needs of small to medium-sized commercial clients across diverse industries in North America including a rotation in risk, equipment finance, and other banking groups)

Basically between a boring menial job that pays a bit more and offers overtime, or a job that would give me tangible skills, and comparable salary?

Both are back office, same type of jobs. Take the one that pays more.

They are not the same job-- one is processing trades (pressing ok a computer screen a million times) and the other is in finance-- I would actually do important evaluations (develop and perform valuation analyses including discounted cash-flow analysis, leveraged buyout analysis comparable company and transaction valuation,analyze M&A and capital markets transactions and perform pro form-analyses)

if you think the citi one is more middle office, then take that. though it could be just a back office group within ops, in which case it won't matter
