My long-term goal is Private Equity consulting. I am struggling to decide because the research offer at MBB is 40% higher in base comp but I fear I may not earn relevant experience to transition to PE consulting.

Im not too sure about a research position at an MBB being as resourceful as an advisory background from EY simply because the exposure you're getting at EY would be directly or somewhat correlated to your goal of PE consulting per-se. Would love to hear other ops about this, following.
Research position to investment role in PE would be virtually impossible. Consulting is not PE primary feeder and a non client-client facing role would shut any small existing avenue. You are simply not getting any relevant exposure and experience
I am more interested in the PE practices of MBB, not necessarily the investment team of PE firms. I already have internship experience in PE consulting and I enjoyed that the most (M&A strategy, acquisition target screening, commercial and financial DD).
The only way I could make this research position at MBB slightly more relevant is by specializing and focusing on M&A/PE consulting projects - it's worth mentioning that I would be working for consulting projects and support the with research and analysis, but I would not have direct client exposure.
from either role exits are going to be a long shot. go MBB and then apply for an MBA
