Which one is the best option for an ambitious young professional? Can someone give me what they think the pros/cons are? What would be the best for a fast career progression? Also, for the second offer, what type of role is that considered...corporate development or corporate strategy or none?
Thanks

My reason being that if you don't like management consultant, you can always get the Second offer but not the other way around.
