medium sized accountancy firm corporate finance dept vs. Big4 treasury solutions

Hey guys,

I'm not sure what to do and I hope you guys can give some perspective on the following: Here's my situation: I'm from a (semi)-target school in the Netherlands (RSM), but have no CF experience, 7,8GPA (I guess thats comparable to a 3.5 in the US) and I would love to work in M&A. However, I am 29 years old because I worked abroad for a couple of years before I got of my arse and decided my career was going nowhere. Thats when I applied for a masters in finance at age 26. Since I have no relevant internship I can only get an internship at a well known but medium sized accountancy firm's CF department, no Big4 however, think like Mazars, Baker Tilly. They only advise on deals for SMB companies and I am not sure I working on these kinds of deals gives some decent options for my future career.

Since I got nervous about my career opportunities working very small deals I also applied and interviewd for a big4 treasury solutions department because I thought at the time it would give exposure to debt financed deals, but those are all handled at a different department within the big4.

Long story short; medium sized accounting firms' CF dept or should I go for the Big4 treasury solutions dept try to work my way into their debt solutions department where I at least can work on deals?

Maybe I sound like an arrogant prick not being happy with the options I have, but I just dont want to get stuck in a job that gives terrible future exit opps.
