Need Advice On Which Offer To Taks

If you were a fresh grad in USA, you have 2 offers, which do you take

one is at a Big 4 on their strategy division (strategy&, ey-Parthenon) for FDD working exclusively on sponsors backed deals

Or

at a PE firm (Thoma Bravo, HIG capital, Audax Group) for an AI Analyst enablement role. I would be working with business development and the investment team building workflows, and using ai agents to help the teams source and close deals.

I’ve never heard of this second role before and had a recruiter reach out for it. But I feel like this is a good risk to take as the world is becoming more AI. Learning these AI skills could be worth it.

What u guys think?
