I'm currently doing my internship at Simon-Kucher (4 months), and love the job I do. However, the long working hours (it was 14.5 hours yesterday, for example) is killing me everyday and gives me no space to relax and improve myself, or even reading a book. Now, I got another internship offer, including a full time one, from P&G's Finance department. Though I'm not a fan of finance, it offers me decent working hours, a lower salary (but not much), and a nice career path. What do you think?

You'll get used to the long hours. Go to Simon - you can always exit to industry!

The salary growth at Simon will be much faster than in an FP&A role.

It’s hard to set boundaries as an intern, I think you should push yourself to understand what you need to survive and make sure your team knows. Could be basics like 30 min protected lunch, morning walk, an hour in the evening to workout and make dinner. These small things of a long way and people generally respect it.

I agree with the others on your trajectory. SK are a fast growing consultancy that you’ll learn loads from and if you can stick it out for 1.5-2years you’ll have lots of exit opps and (hopefully) won’t regret it.
