Have offers for/in final stages for both of these. How do these two compare in terms of exit opps, prestige, career outcomes, etc?

that’s helpful. but also would it be different as I’m asking specifically about strategy and not BA?
incoming at ow, interviewed for BA and strategy
I think the responses to the linked post are pretty accurate given that I've heard the amount of work/pay is very similar between c1 BA and strategy. As mentioned in the responses to the other post, I think the main differences are exits, travel, and type of work.
If you like travel, want to exit into PE or finance, and prefer a larger variety of work - OW
If you don't want to travel, want to exit into tech or corp strat, and like banking/credit cards - c1
I think C1 strat is cool in that you get to work directly with the CEO/senior executives
Hey great job on the offers. How did you prep for cases interviews at these places?
