Boutique IB, LDP or single family office

In final rounds for position at LDP (Operations/Production) at a major manufacturing F500, an analyst position at a boutique and one at a major single family office.

My two goals in life are to become a f500 C-suite (CEO or COO) and eventually a politician. So option 1 is my preferred, but it pays the least by far. However, it’s tough to leave over 40k on the table with loans and everything & I’d build a great network in option 3.

Which one would you recommend based on that info?
