Depends fam. Do you want to work on strategy or corporate finance transactions? What's the first article you read on the WSJ every morning?
To me this is the true litmus test here AND do you have familial/relationship reasons for wanting to be in the city where the BCG offer is? Your answer to these two questions should guide you.
MS has greater comp now and in the future (same base but way higher bonus). BCG "should" have better quality of life, but a few things to note here: 1. COVID has also thrown off the regular work cadence for Consulting, 2. do you view a better quality of life as being on the road 4 days a week, 3. depending on who you ask Consulting hours can be pretty long as well, anecdotally people in my MBA class cited working 15-16 hour days during their internship at some MBB's, but this was driven by office location (think NY/SF/similar cities being higher hours on average vs. say an ATL).
Also, I'm curious which one you went through FT recruiting for? I know both sides were fairly hot in terms of picking up FTs this year.
I personally would take MS since I think post-MBA, I'd pursue a career focus on a skillset (finance in this case) but I'd definitely say BCG if you're looking for interesting wide options to exits.
I've seen many BCG people end up at solid corp strategy jobs at innovative F500 companies (more like F100). Heck, I've even seen some really cool sports exits (specifically to the NBA corp strategy type of roles in NYC).
Are those cool sports exits not available from IB (GS/MS/PJT/EVR) as an ASO?
