Dubai BCG VS HK BB S&T

I am currently an analyst 1 at a BB with less than 1yr YOE. I have an offer to join BCG Dubai as a junior associate.

1. My career goal is to become a commercial cofounder so consulting learning seems more relevant
2. Trading offers way higher salary, almost twice as high as consulting (12% tax in HK VS 0 in Dubai but I live with parents and have virtually no living cost, and can realistically save $150K after a year)
3. I am pretty young (fresh outta undergrads) so i thought going to a brand new place and get exposure to more industries is valuable
