Fresh grad here. I currently have an offer for a tech (SWE) position at a local bank, as well as a tier 2/3 strategy consulting firm. I know both happen to be very different roles, but I'm personally someone who is quite flexible in terms of the type of work I can do so I don't have a strong inclination on either.

I think the key question is this - which one will have more career capital in the long term? I know BO is not glamorous, but the technical experience could be a good springboard especially is a world that is digitalising. On the flipside, I'm concerned that tech in general is getting saturated and I'll just be another ordinary SWE. At the same time, if I enter consulting, I would not develop a specialised skillset, and while it is a somewhat glamorous industry now, I'm not sure about its future.

Anyone has inputs on this? Many thanks!
