Mgmt consulting or IB (MBA student)

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice on MBA recruiting. I was a management consultant in a tier 2 firm for around 4 years and am currently doing an MBA program at an M7 school. I still cannot decide between mgmt consulting and investment banking. I heard IB is challenging for Asian boys but the consulting market is laying off people. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated.
