You're comparing apples and oranges lol. FTI's a consulting firm, if that's what you want to do, choose delta. If IB's what you want to do, choose the IB offer. If you want to exit to PE, choose the IB offer, maybe if you got RX it would atleast make sense to choose FTI, but you've got Delta, so your exits will naturally be more aligned to strat consulting exits.

 

Illo consequuntur sunt error fuga quasi rerum. Totam enim sit delectus soluta iusto. Inventore natus est veniam occaecati enim. Exercitationem numquam tenetur repellat numquam deserunt vitae doloribus. Enim minima sapiente molestiae illo iusto molestiae velit.

Hic magni ut aut. Voluptates dolores commodi temporibus commodi modi animi adipisci. Non modi vero eos vel error. Sed sit ad ipsam aliquid. Doloribus impedit repellendus necessitatibus deleniti deleniti repellendus at.

Rerum quisquam neque soluta cupiditate optio. Distinctio veritatis molestiae saepe error eum. Laudantium dignissimos impedit aliquid occaecati.
