Which offer? EY "finance consulting" or a boutique consulting firm

Hi everyone, as a recent upcoming college graduate, I am confused about which offer to accept:

  1. EY National Consulting - Finance consulting: The job description seems a little more geared towards FP&A consulting as opposed to "finance" consulting. The pay is lower for this but seems like a great opportunity for the brand name.

  2. Boutique consulting firm which focuses on asset and wealth management consulting (headquartered in London but does not have a huge presence in the US): This is a little more niche, but does pay a little higher than EY.

My ultimate goal is to land into strategy consulting at a top firm or MBB. Which offer would you recommend taking?
