Direct Promotion at MBB vs. Join Unicorn Startup

Hi there,

I am in my mid twenties and have received a direct promotion offer from an MBB to a post-MBA consulting position. I also have an offer for Biz Ops at a tech unicorn startup. Compensation is roughly similar, but obviously startup has more risk and less liquidity.

What should I do?
