I have a couple of offers on the table and just looking for some opinions to help me make a decision because I'm really torn. Would you rather work for one of the big 4 or a smaller niche company and why? I can see benefits of both.

Smaller so you have impact on your projects and not assigned a project that a partner oversold

Depends on the offer package $$ and niche company’s potential
