First FT job and exit ops

Hey guys,

Just received 2 offers for IT Risk Consulting groups. This might belong in the consulting forum, but that place is pretty dead, and my future plans are to get into a top MBA program and into ibanking. One of the offers is with a Big 4, the other is a pretty new firm, but rapidly growing and well recognized as the legit members of a former Big 8(you should be able to figure it out) I am really having a hard time choosing, pay is similar, but culture is very different. Big 4 place is huge and seems like what typical corporate culture will be like, and it also has the name and the reputation. The smaller place only owns a floor in a building, however I would feel less like a number and more like a person. The environment was very friendly and promoting the worth of the people. As I mentioned before, my long term goals are to eventually get into a top business school. Both of these places would be in the corporate HQ, NYC.
