Graduate roles offers: KPMG M&A vs Accenture MC

Hi all,
I (21F) am trying to decide which job role offer I should take and would appreciate any advice. The roles I have been offered include:


KPMG deal advisory M&A, the starting salary is the lowest but I would gain the ACA qualification.

Accenture management consultant program. The starting salary is the highest with a sign on bonus. 

I want to understand the career prospects that each role would offer me and any particular struggles people may have had in similar roles. In particular, which role is better for long term career prospects and professional development.


Thank you in advance.
