Can you be more specific?
It is the M&A coverage team at JP, analyst position and normal consultant role at BCG (not team specific). Having an engineering background, I was wondering where I could add the most value and which job I could do for a longer period without moving to another firm.
In terms of staying with the same firm, both positions have pretty set tracks for this. At JPM, given excellent performance you could do 3 years as an analyst & then be directly promoted to Associate and continue on with the firm/in banking. At BCG, you'd typically do your 2-3 years as Associate Consultant and then move on to BCG-sponsored business school if you wanted a further promotion with the firm.
As for the relevance of your background, it's not bus/fin so it wouldn't be directly relevant to either position but it's a great skill-set to have for both. Consulting firms love engineering majors for their logical thinking skills and as such, you may really enjoy strategy consulting. At the same time, IBs hire from all majors and given the offer, you'd probably make a great M&A analyst. This really comes down to personal preference and whether you enjoy consulting or banking more.
I'd highly suggest finding some people on linkedin who have done both BB IB & MBB consulting, telling them your situation, and asking to speak with them about their experiences and get some advice. I'm sure most will be more than receptive!
What are the two positions, and what are you interested in doing long-term?
What industry group is the BCG offer for? I heard that people from McKinsey's "Financial Services" group had good chances in getting Associate roles at major Investment Banks after their consulting endeavor.
