PwC advisory and a Tier 2 European Investment Bank

Hi,

It has been my first time to ask question on the forum, please spare me if the question is not clear enough.

Currently, I am considering opportunities both from PwC consulting (financial service) and an European conglomerate's investment banking arm, but I am not sure which one should be a better choice?

So far I know, PwC is also doing M&A, and the division has gained its reputation in recent years, especially in Asia-Pacific. However, I may not directly assign to M&A in the first year or 2. On the other hand, for the European bank, I had done a few research from sources like glassdoor, the environment seems pretty layback and compensation may not be comparable as those bulge brackets. Some of my friends in Bulge Brackets analyst position has also never heard of it but it's still IBD.

Thus, I am pretty puzzled, which one would offer me a better career opportunity/ exit opportunity?

Thanks
