Started as Associate in Operations at DoorDash recently. Got an offer to join BCG as Senior Associate in New York. Base comp is equal, BCG has better benefits, DD has 10am-6pm WLB. What to do?

My work at DD is not very interesting to me - it is heavily focused on merchant operations and sales/partnership building. If stayed, would probably be promoted to Manager in 6-12 months. I just don't see how it would project my career forward. Yet, so many people are trying to leave consulting for "unicorn" startups that I can't help but feel I'm doing something wrong.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
