Microsoft Corporate Finance V.S. BCG China

I am a first year MBA student.
Got two summer intern offers with BCG China and Microsoft Corp Finance.

With a past experience in corporate finance, I have a intention to try consulting but working in the US is another priority.

Seeking your advice to compare and choose between the two.

Great thanks in advance!

 

Two different career paths, decide which you want. You can probably transfer from BCG China to somewhere in the US down the road (I'm guessing), but making the transition from post-MBA corpfin to Consulting may be difficult

I second what DM said. BCG should open a lot of doors post mba especially for CorpFin. CorpFin to top tier Consulting would be difficult to spin Post-MBA on the other hand.

From your experience in CorpFin what did you think of it? I am assuming you enjoyed it to some extent or else you wouldn't be recruiting for a corpfin role again post-MBA?

 

Thank you D M and freddyflintstone. Indeed I liked my past career in corp FA and enjoyed the collaborative environment.

But since it's my first-job-ever, I did not have many chances to reach out to other career possibilities...

In addition, I wonder how the consulting job from non-US location will differ form a US-based job in finding a full time job in US?
