IBM CBD vs KPMG Offers

Hi All,

I recently received offers from IBM's Consulting by Degrees Program working as an entry level Oracle/SAP Consultant and an offer from KPMG IT Advisory's practice.

The salaries are relatively similar so the money is really a big issue

For those who have experience in the industry or with these 2 firms your input is welcomed.

Which company would give me a better entry level career experience and provide the best opportunity for growth in the long run?

I'm also considering getting an MBA in the future and of course any exit opportunities that would present themselves should I go that route.
