Goldman vs Monitor

I know, all the vs threads...

I have brought my choices down to deciding between Goldman Sachs and Monitor Group for the summer. Obviously the bigger question here is banking vs consulting.

In the long run, I would like to get into the development space, ideally in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

For Goldman, its IBD in a top group. I know people from GS who have gone on to work for the World Bank and what not. Monitor is based out of Dubai. Their work is done mainly in Saudi Arabia and also in North Africa, but a lot of projects for governments.

GS. It's Tier 1 IB vs Tier 2 Consulting. Always go with Tier 1 for summer. You can switch for FT from one Tier 1 to another if you're a strong candidate.
