Help with the next direction please!!

Hi.

I am currently a big 4 associate in valuation & business modelling. I have a dilemma to ponder upon:

| BB - tech. Right around the corner from me. No study support in ACA (an accounting qualification in the UK) or CFA (which I am currently finishing off). | A firm that is not in financial services, but involves financial modelling and a host of responsibilities including flying out to various its offices in the US and Dubai. An hour and a half commute from home. Study support given in both ACA and CFA.

So I guess it's either the brand value vs the responsibilities I will get elsewhere. A BB audit - what would be a first choice - is also meant to get back at me in 2 weeks - from an interview I consider to have been done particularly well.

Additionally, I hold an offer from an outsourced firm placed at a BB; does this have any merit at all?

Thanks a lot!!
