Thank you in advance.
Deloitte GPS Business Analyst vs Mercer Health Consulting Analyst?
Deloitte's offer is 7K more and in a cheaper area. Equal interest in both jobs, slight preference for Mercer for people + culture. Leaning towards Mercer because I graduate in Dec and can start in Jan vs having to wait until next summer for Deloitte + location (although higher COL)
Concerns:
Exit opportunities
Pigeonhole-ing myself into health consulting / How hard would it be to join Big 4 in a year or two if I don't like it
Do you need to retain ALL the formulas I’m BEC ?

I’d focus a bit more generally unless you have a specific area of tech you’re trying to break into. Chances are you won’t be able to compete with a comparable YOE engineer who only codes in Java, but if you sell yourself on being well-rounded developer who communicates clearly and manages work well, then you’ll have a good chance of landing something.
I would also note that AWS and Azure certs are really hot right now. I might focus on getting a cert and just go slow so you can pick up the associated tech along the way. That’ll help show passion and capability to the firms who interview you
