Tier 2 Consulting vs Amazon Post-MBA

I have two offers for post-MBA that I am trying to decide between. What would be the best in terms of exit opportunities? My ultimate goal would be to have a high-level role in industry (Director+) or move into a strategy / biz ops role in big tech (probably not Amazon). 

Option 1: Tier 2 Consulting Firm (think OW, Kearney, LEK, etc.)

Option 2: Amazon (non-tech Sr. Product Manager)
