What’s the best (most promising) industry in ATL (which one you see with the most growth potential, or which ATL seems to have a regional advantage in), for someone in their mid-twenties just beginning their career to focus on/specialize in?

Context: Industry agnostic, but have zero intentions in leaving ATL.

Supply chain and logistics which has largely been Atlanta's bread n butter. Tech is growing but will face competition from Austin, Nashville, Raleigh RTP, etc

Logistics coz that is a pretty consistent industry domain. I myself work for Finsncial Services clients, fintech is quite volatile. Really depends on what the fintech does.

I’m graduating from my MSA program and I have two offers:

1) FDD @ KPMG

2) CMAAS @ PwC (trying to move offer to valuations)

I want to use these TAS roles to move into more M&A advisory roles like IB/Corp Dev. PwC comp is a decent amount higher due to the $10k salary increase so it makes the decision a bit harder. Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
