Had a friend who had the exact same choice. She ended up at HBS. I daresay whether you plan to take sponsorship is a significant driver

Your exit ops are likely well paying jobs and if sponsorship is still on the table, I think the $ shouldn't be a huge factor. Go with your gut. Hope to see you at HBS in the fall!

From what I’ve heard, Wharton has great exit ops for FS, while HBS has an upper hand in consulting. Considering you want to do PE, Wharton might make more sense

Is there a recommended path here? Long one, finished in the comments.

So I make around 35% below market for my titled role. My employer used “startup” as the reason when I was hired, but they’ve finally stopped using that excuse. I was fine with it, because I was promised a promotion within 12 months due to scope change. I’ve now been promoted twice, but in responsibility only. My boss said it’ll be another 18-24 months until my director promo is approved and goes into effect. More in comments
