Is it better for website accessibility to have the menu before ar after the content

I have seen two approaches to menu/content markup order in relation to accessibility for keyboard only users:

  1. Menu first then content with a skip to content link at the top
  2. Content first then menu with a skip to navigation link at the top

Is one of these approaches better than the other or are they both equivalent?
If one is better than the other, why is it better?
