Barclays or Citibank which company is more better at AVP role?

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade).

Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?
