Navigant vs Big 4 FDD

Hey all,

I am currently a public accountant who has two options on the table, a senior consultant offer from Navigant, or a senior associate in FDD offer at a Big 4 accounting firm. I would eventually like to get into corporate strategy or corporate development, however my career goals remain fluid based on experience, so I was wondering which would provide the best career growth/learning opportunities/exit opportunities. Thanks.
