New Grad BCG VS STRIPE

Posting this for a friend who's kinda stuck and needs serious suggestions!

She's a BBA undergrad(major finance and international business) previously worked at slice(fintech), and was pretty set on staying in the fintech/ops space for a while.

Now she's got two offers and is genuinely torn:

1.BCG — Communication & Change Associate (Apprentice-Gurgaon)

2.Stripe — Operations Associate (Apprentice- Bangalore)

the pay is exactly the same for both - Any inputs are appreciated 🙏

Stripe all the way.

BCG is are just BS consultants. They don’t actually know how to do anything. We had them as consultants, and we spent a year cleaning up their mess.

If the rumours are true they do a bad job on purpose. CEOs that hire them want a bankruptcy so they can exit with a big package. BCG’s financials also report they make most of their money from the stock market, not actual consulting activities.
