I was fortunate enough to land a strategy consulting offer at the T2 Strategy and F100 FLDP programs. Which opportunity provides a better career progression, exit opportunities, and a higher salary in the long term?

Microsoft. Easy call. Lots of exit options from there if you don’t like it.
Microsoft might have the edge for FAANG exits but the overall exit opportunities will be better from Accenture Strat. Consulting would be a more holistic experience as well if you aren't sure what you want to do.
Please do not join Accenture. Seriously I promise you’ll regret it.
microsoft might not be the perfect opportunity but it’s a great foundation and from it you can do corp finance, program (product) management, marketing. Just think about it as joining Microsoft and if you don’t like the function you can try a new one later

Strong words - can you provide some rationale for why Accenture Strategy is so bad? The way I see it is that both are great opportunities but are very different jobs and potential career paths. The key question is not which one is "better" but which do you think you'd prefer? Both have similar exits for MBA in my experience. I was Accenture Strategy -> Top 5 b-school -> MBB and many of my colleagues followed a similar path although most did not go back into consulting post MBA. Accenture Strategy gets shit on a lot on WSO primarily because people seem to have a hard time distinguishing between Accenture Strategy and non-Strategy practices but I learned a ton, had amazing co-workers, and gained a lot of valuable experiences working on true growth strategy engagements. Don't think you could go wrong with either choice.
