Boutique vs Big 4

Deciding between a different position at another Big 4 Firm and a Boutique Firm. Personally, the work at the boutique firm seems way more interesting (Growth Strategy) with less than 100 employees. Between a brand name company and more interesting work -- which would you recommend I choose? I'm pretty early on in my career and have been working for the past few years at KPMG -- looking to seek out a new opportunity but not sure which might be the right choice.

Boutique firm pays more than big 4 accounting firm and you will get more interesting work

Can we know which boutique firm..?..one thing about big4..they hire you for one role..but by the time you join the role is gone and you end up doing some stupid work.. But money also matters ..so see the diff I moved from big 4 to a smaller consulting firm.

Likely depends on what you want to do down the road, more so than what seems "interesting" right now. Big 4 name (I think you're referring to the big 4 accounting firms?) goes a long way for accounting, auditing, or just in finance in general, but if you're looking into management consulting or strategy consulting, job at a smaller but more relevant practice is probably a better move.
