LEK PhD Analyst vs ClearView Consultant

Which one of these two roles is better? I like to think I will mostly exit consulting in 2-3 years but equally open to the possibility of going to MBB.

Does working at ClearView limit my exit options to the life science industry? I have heard you do a lot more DD work at LEK and more strategy at ClearView - how to factor in these differences and how does it affect your trajectory?
