I'd go Bain. Nothing like SF if you're into tech.
If Bain's project assignment is anything like McKinsey's, he will definitely get the experience he's looking for.
in addition, in general i've heard the skillset derived from consulting lends itself more strongly to entrepreneurship than banking.
i'd go with centerview even though i'm in consulting.
money helps if you're trying to be an entrepreneur.
san fran bain no question
Bain SF definitely
For what he wants, I think SF Bain is the obvious choice.
I'd say consulting if you want to go the entrepreneurship route. Plus SF for tech is great.
I think Bain is a good choice for him based off of the limited information you posted.
compared to Centerview, Bain SF is clearly the better choice but Bain (or any other consulting firm) is not a path to becoming a tech entrepreneur. if he happens to have a great start-up idea, his Bain experience and SF exposure/network will better enable him to execute it.
i still think the centerview bonus will allow him to execute any idea better, but that's just me.
Bain SF for becoming an entrepreneur IMO
