FT Offer - Next Steps

Hi - so I got a FT offer @ a Fortune 500 for a rotational tech program in Chicago. It pays around 80k including a signing bonus, and also will pay into my 401(k) at about 10% per year with no required contribution. Seems to provide great Medical + Dental insurance benefits.

I am interested in getting into consulting at some point, however. What should I shoot for when recruiting this fall (senior year)? My GPA is very subpar, so should I just try to focus on Tech Consulting at a place like Deloitte, EY, or PwC? How does the tech consulting career track differ from management or other consulting at these firms? How does compensation look like between all these options? Am I better off waiting until I get my MBA?
