Ship Broker vs Transaction Banker as a Career

Hi All,

I am offered a job as a shipbroker in ICAP Singapore, and also as a graduate trainee in Global Transaction Banking in Deutsche Bank...need your advice as to the career prospects and challenges at both...currently the offered basic pay is similar..thanks in advance for your advice!

 

yea, both salaries are quite low as to my expectations...and i believe i would need to prepare my liver for sessions of drinking no matter which jobs i'm taking...so what the rest think of these 2 jobs? which to take up and why?
