Opinions on boutique, sector-specific firms

Just curious about your opinions on opportunities with a boutique management consulting firm with a heavy sector specialization, but with clients across several industries. I recently recieved an offer from such a firm, aerospace and defense focus, and was curious about the potential exit ops, and whether or not i will be pidgeonholed down the line for choosing such a firm.

Basically, the pay is perfect, the location is great, the firm is newly international- but what does accepting the job mean for my career prospects

Apologies for the punctuation\spelling- im in mexico and cant figure out the damn keyboard.
