I would say only do it if healthcare is your long term goal post MBA. If not and Deloitte can give you experience/exposure in areas youre interested in and that fits your story, stay at D

I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:
