I have received an offer as a senior associate in Bain Advanced Analytics Group and an offer from AlixPartners as a Consultant. What do you think is the best choice in terms of career advacement and exit options, given the fact that i have a MSc Corporate Finance (I naturally like PE, restructuring..) but I have also developed strong skills in the Analytics field and enjoy it a lot? Probably in Bain AAG would be better to have a PHD to compete in the long run which is not currently sponsored.
