L.E.K. Chicago vs. Oliver Wyman Dallas vs. Strategy& Chicago

I’m fortunate to have FT offers at all 3 firms. I need advice on which to go with. Longterm interested in VC/Startups/maybe T10 MBA. I want to be thoughtful given the market.

Imo as well as some friends in IB/PE, OW is number 4 in the US behind MBB in terms of prestige. Also, when was your interview for S&? I thought they hadn't even sent out interview for FT
