BofA v Bain & Company

I have offers from both BofA Investment Banking Division (Analyst) and Bain & Company (Associate Consultant). I generally like finance more, but also interested in strategy and business. Top of mind is the exit opportunities between the two. Perhaps Bain at the beginning of my career and then a later move on into high finance.

Thoughts on what I should do?
