Marketing Strategy or Tech Consulting

Hi all,

I am a recent graduate from Non-target school and double majored in mathematics/finance. Unfortunately I could not land any legit management consulting gig out of school so I am stuck with 2 unrelated offers to take.

One offer is analyst role at mid size marketing strategy firm related to social media/web. I will be responsible for doing various web analytic and marketing related stuff.

Another offer is tech consulting analyst gig at large tech consulting firm (Deloitte/Accenture).

I know that none of these offer is anything related to management consulting but I want to eventually get there after going to bschool in few years. I was wondering which job opportunity would better help me land a consulting gig in future?

Any help would be appreciated!

 

I appreciate your response. I believe it is quite hard to transition from tech consulting into mgmt consulting so I guess I should go for the marketing role.

Quidem perspiciatis quaerat tempore dignissimos consectetur qui. Numquam delectus assumenda quo voluptatibus id id.

Non ea nam iste quasi. Optio repellat tempora quos quaerat. Impedit est et corrupti nihil.
