M&A Deal Advisory in Home Country

Hey, forum - wasn't successful at obtaining summer analyst position and it seems like the recruiting has mostly ended. I go to a U.K target.

I have an offer at one of the big 4 accounting firms in their M&A deal advisory teams in my home country (East-Central/Continental Europe). How seriously do banks value this experience for FT recruiting? Is it better to grab a BO/Corporate Banking role at BB instead?

I would never choose BO over deal advisory :/

As for corporate banking, that's another story, and still completely different from BO. Why would you consider them equal?
