MM DCM or CFO consulting at FTI

If faced with the these two choices for FT what would you choose?

About to graduate, successfully landed an IB offer, although not glamorous, I’m both happy and grateful.

Also landed an offer for CFO consulting which sounds very interesting, although I would have rather it have been in restructuring consulting.

In terms of exit ops, is there a clear choice?

IB pay is higher - both in NYC MM bank is recognizable name in the MM but not for DCM (HW,Piper,Baird,Cantor)
