Kearney vs. Accenture Strategy FT

Deciding between Kearney (NY) and Accenture Strategy (Chicago/NY, location not decided yet). 
 

I’ve heard that Kearney has more supply chain/logistics projects and Accenture Strategy has more tech/IT implementation as a component to their projects 

I really enjoyed talking to people at both firms but would love some more thoughts on exit opps, admissions to MBA programs, WLB, prestige, any other factors that help differentiate them!

Kearney has a better reputation and will certainly have better exit opps but if you really want to do Tech, Accenture might be a better option (not sure if the Chicago and NY offices focus on other industries).
