Product Management vs Big 4 Audit

My friend has received offers from a big 4 firm for audit and also from a top payments firm (Mastercard/Visa) for product management. He is struggling to make a decision and so I have come to the oracle to seek advice. How do these two offers compare in:

  • prestige
  • Exit ops  

Any useful advice? What would you do?
