Compass Lexecon Research Analyst or FTI Consulting Economic & Financial Consulting (EFC) Graduate

Hi, I have received offers from both Compass (2-year fixed contract, after which I have to do a master) and FTI Consulting EFC (permanent role, will sponsor me a CFA). From what I know, Compass focuses mostly on anti-trust and merger cases, while FTI EFC mostly on valuation. I wonder which position has better exit strategies, such as landing an offer in top MBA/Law or graduate schools, and moving on to do something different, such as in HF, IBD or MBB? Besides, anyone knows which role is more prestigious?
