1) Corporate Strategy in startup companies (no brand names here, but seems like the learning is interesting)
I would not do it - I think working in a startup as a founder is one thing, but as a regular employee is totally different. Rather go for a big established corporate with outstanding people in their Corporate Development / Strategy department. Payment is likely bad and too risky.
2) Growth operations in startup (big brand names in a startup)
Again, if you intend to go for MBB or other things, consider exit options here. What if things go wrong, what could you do after 5 years of work at this particular firm? Still sounds too risky and not worth it if you are not the founder or have some stake in the company.
3) Consultant in the boutique (one of the leaders for local management consulting firms in my country) consulting.
Depends on your next steps, I d go for that as a back-up option in case MBB does not work out. Live in a boutique is not as linear, but can be awesome! Since it is a boutique though, more due diligence (do you like the ppl and do the ppl like you) is required.
4) Intern in MBB again (before I worked in Big4, I was an intern in there for like 4months, contract-based)
Absolutely. Best bang for your buck. Only upsides. With another MBB internship you open doors into other attractive firms (e.g. non-MBB firms). Best case you receive the full-time offer and start in MBB.
