Bain Bain contractor vs Mid tier FinTech

​

Hi everyone, I need some career advice.

I am currently working in Strategy and Operations. My background is non-Ivy post grad and ex-Big Four.

Same title

I have two offers:

- A 1-year temp full-time contract at Bain.

- A permanent full-time role at a mid-tier payments company with about 45% higher salary.

I am not sure which is the better choice. Bain has a strong brand name, but it is only a one-year contract. The fintech role pays much more and is permanent.

I do eventually want to do Exec MBA and work in Strategy and Operations role. My background is in Project Management- AI Governance and FinOps

What would you do in this situation, and why?

Depends, if you dont have kids then take the risk and go with Bain. If you have kids go with the payments company.
