Lets just assume I'm equally interested in both, what are some of the pros/cons you guys can think of?
Both are limited opp tbh. Mid tier accounting firm has no CV branding and most likely will end up in other mid tiers or SMEs in the long term. If by "mid tier" you mean RSM or BDO maybe still got a bit of hope, if not then it's more or less game over for any future with MNC/local bluechips or public sector.

CA option too administrative and after 3-4 weeks you will figure out everything you need to know and honestly such basic SOP skillset not much real value in the market. It's going to be standard route of 3-4 years entry, 3-4 years senior and if you are lucky after that maybe some sort of team lead or assistant manager role.

Since both of them not good, I suggest you stick with the one that has higher pay.
