Hi,
I’m graduating from my undergraduate program and I have two offers:

1) Research Analyst - Corporate Finance at BCG ValueScience Center
2) Financial Analyst - Private Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs

If my ultimate goal is to become a management consultant, which one should I choose? Are the any major differences between BCG Value Science Center and BCG? Any insights on either role and company would be much appreciated!

Goldman. Brand is gold star and storyline of “I crushed it but want to make a career switch” is better then “I could only swing support team at bcg but want to step up”

+2. Huge difference between your offer and the generalist offer for BCG.

BCG for sure if this is the PWM job that I'm thinking. Sales role make way more at GS than anything else (Ops, MO, etc). Go to BCG, do a year, then an internal transfer to a nice consulting position, and apply to GS if you want the name on your resume.
