Deloitte Strategy vs. Alvarez & Marsal CPI

I am considering offers from both Deloitte Strategy and Alvarez & Marsal CPI. I have included some pros and cons below.

Deloitte Strategy:

- higher base pay and signing bonus but lower EOY bonus

- flexibility in location

- better exit opportunities 

- may have less offering portfolio flexibility

- start date is tentative fall 2024 right now and has possibility of being pushed back (need income for 2024)

Alvarez & Marsal:

- lower base pay and signing bonus but higher expected EOY bonus (20-40%)

- less location flexibility

- lesser brand name

- maybe better office culture because smaller firm

- start date is February 2024 because I am graduating in December 2023

Please help and share your opinions!
