IB at unknown firm vs. strategy consulting at a big 4? undergrad at target

I'm a rising junior at a target looking to go into IB/management consulting. Obviously the goal is M/B/B or the next best firm. Have a ~3.4 GPA, and I worked in strategy consulting at a big 4 previously. I can either go back (this isn't in the US - but the work was amazing) or work at a small IB firm in New York.

I'd love to hear thoughts on this
