Hi everyone.
What are you guys' opinions on choosing between an internal strategy team of a very large multinational firm and a lower tier 2 consulting firm (it's quite well known esp in Europe), particularly in terms of career prospect and exit opportunities? Will one give me a better chances of joining MBB, PE, other top managerial positions, or even top MBA programs?
A little bit of context:
-
I'm still in my bachelor and will be graduating next year. Region: Asia
-
The internal strategy team consist of a small team of ~10ish, with managers mostly from MBB. They solely focus on strategy and not implementation. I have been offered a full time position starting next May
-
The lower tier 2 firm consists of 20-30 people. I have secured an internship there next January which will be their only pipeline for recruiting analysts. So I have NOT gotten a full-time offer yet.
-
I have two seniors working in two both places, both recommending their companies and saying they love their work culture. None of them know I have another option on the table and I don't want to offend either of them by asking their thoughts about this.
As of now, I think the less risky option would be to accept the internal strategy offer. However I wonder if it's a better idea to risk it and try to get a return offer from the tier 2 firm?
Thanks in advance!
