Need opinions on job offers

I am currently considering three offers at hand. I studied engineering undergrad so I really didn't plan to go into finance or consulting or spent a lot of time prepping... but anyhow I think they turned out to be more interesting opportunities to me, so:

A. UBS private wealth management at Hong Kong
B. a strategy boutique consulting firm (ranked on Vault top 20 ish)
C. Deloitte tech consulting

The pay after tax for A is twice as high as B and C but I feel that I'd be happier doing more analytical stuff as opposed to predominantly managing relationships...Also, I wonder if I am interested in applying to MBA somewhere down the line, which job would add more to my application profile?

Thanks!

I would go for the boutique consulting firm. With engineering sure you'll kill at the quants in banks and even at Deloitte, but going from a Big 4 to MBB perhaps 3-4 years down the line would be harder than a strategy boutique. Also, with UBS you'll stay in finance and perhaps apply that to some engineering deals but with consulting you'll be exposed to more aspects of your industry and can specialise e.g. if you did Civil consult for infrastructure projects, if you did mechanical you can consult for aerospace or automative. Also, with finance you biggest change way down the line would be PE. With consulting you could be poached by a company in said industry; imagine being head of strategy for Boeing
