Not to wax poetic, but what do you want out of life? Do you love the laid back small-town atmosphere, or are you itching for a change? You're comparing apples and oranges here. Both are fine choices, but will lead you down very divergent paths.

+60hr week, your base salary will definitely be higher and the exit opportunities are amazing.
If you’re “happy” with the current path of your life and see yourself living the small town life, enjoy your life and don’t worry about it. If you want to change your life path, 100% do it.

$115k sounds extremely low to me. I know people hired right out of school with BA in MIS from Purdue making $120k in Houston.
I know that McKinsey will look good on a resume and may be worth it in the long run. But I have also generally found that you can ask for $15k over what they offer and get it, usually. $15k is at least a car note.
Don't get me wrong. I have done it. 7 years ago I took a huge pay cut to retool my career. Make sure you have a plan and don't just assume simply working there is enough to build your career.
Accenture 2 has words of gold right here. Everything they said is 100% on the money.
