honest opinions?....mmmm....you're asking for way too much!
IMO
1)You may probably "learn more" initially in your career by working in a small firm.
2) Big firms might have rotation programs that could broaden your exposure to different Actuarial lines.
3)& 4) sorry, don't know. But If you paln to go for non-traditional Actuarial roles, your experience may OR may not be of little importance within traditional Actuarial work.
Assuming you're initially looking to get professional Actuarial qualifications first
If you're on IoA track, then you should consider going for MS Actuarial to get some more IoA exemptions. US MBA/MS don't give exemptions for U.S Actuarial exams so there is no point in getting involved in anymore academics on that side.
Hope it helps a little
