IB at BB vs. Consulting at MBB

Managed to land full-time IB offer at a BB shop (ie. gs/ms/jpm) and full-time consulting offer at MBB firm (ie. mckinsey/bain/bcg). I did a summer in IB so I have a glimpse of what it's like but have never done consulting. Summer at IB was not fun but hey everyone's in love with it for some reason. Anyone have advice? Would appreciate as candid and objective perspectives as possible -- thanks

 

First congrats!

Second do what you like not what others like otherwise you gonna be miserable on job and perform worst than peers. BB and MBB are both great and potentially could lead to the same exits if you’re good (thinking about PE or Corp Dev for example).

(these are my 2cents as fresh grad stud unfortunately non in your same situation)
