Real Estate or Big4 Advisory

Hey guys quick question and would love to get some of your thoughts on my situation. Currently studying accounting at a non target but our accounting program is top 5 in the country ( the reason i chose it over finance ). This summer I have accepted an offer for a real estate investment group. Pretty large firm with 29B AUM - ill be doing underwriting on their multifamily team - super excited. I am also considering if i should do the MAcc (masters of accountancy) and maybe go work big 4 advisory maybe PwC. I know there isnt a lot of accounting guys on here but just wondering which one do you guys think would give me the best exit opps? Going big 4 and doing some sort of deal advisory or working REPE or some sort of real estate job.

Still deciding what i want to do - i love real estate though. I also think having a role as a CFO would be cool too. Just trying to keep some door open.

Thanks!
