Rx vs Management Consulting

Junior at a target and was wondering which option you would choose and why? I'd also appreciate any insights into exit opps/brand name/etc..

1. T1 Rx Consulting Internship (A&M, Alix, FTI)

2. T2 Management Consulting (OW, ATK, EYP)

Also wondering which one would be harder to recruit into in the FT cycle if I didn't enjoy my experience doing one of the options. Thanks.

1. A&M

2. T2 Management Consulting & Remaining Rx Firms

Personally, since I work in Rx, I find Rx tremendously more interesting than generic management consulting and feel as it is the perfect hybrid of consulting and finance for my particular experience; however, some may disagree and say that Rx pigeon-holes you for your career. Nonetheless, A&M's pay and prestige is far better than Alix and FTI so I wouldn't put the three of them on the same playing field. Having received offers from both FTI and A&M, I can personally vouch for how much higher the pay is at A&M (not on a base salary level but on a billable hours/bonus level).
