Which one would you chose?

Long story short I have two offers. I graduated in 2022 with an Econ and finance degree. Worked at PwC consulting and a startup before. Company A role is an investment associate at an investment management company ($300 billion AUM). So company A is pretty well known. Company B role is a consultant (think m&a, valuation). Company B is really small the name is not well known though but really smart co workers. 

Company A salary is $90,000 (20k bonus) in California. Gonna have to pay rent and car lmfao.  
Company B salary is $90,000 (up to 30% bonus) in Boston so I will be living at home saving rent.
Both companies benefits are the same tbh.  

I like both roles. The only thing that company A has to offer more is the name brand. Which one looks like a better offer
