Non Target: FT Offers in Consulting, S&T, IB, and AM

So FT recruiting is pretty much wrapping up and have received offers across S&T, Consulting, and IB.

1) (WF/RBC) IBD M&A NYC (85K 10k sign on) 2) (BAML/Citi/JPM) S&T NYC (85K 10k sign on) 3) (Accenture/Deloitte) Strategy Consulting for Tech Companies in San Fran or NYC (75K Base 15K Sign on, 1.5x Overtime and 100% of MBA paid for) 4) (AB/NB/TRowe) AM (75K)

What do you think is the best offer, I have been thinking so much and want to take S&T because I love the markets and want to stay in NYC, but I thought Id give you it a shot and ask for advice here. Thanks in advance!

If your end goal is PE, then take the IB gig. I think that in the long-run IB would pay better. Consulting can get you in PE but it is a tougher battle.
