as mentioned above, the training that one gets in an audit firm is incomparable to an industry. however, the questions that you need to ask yourself are
1) are you looking to get another qualification. if yes and if that other qualification is CA, phir to firm mein hi jaana paray ga. however, on the other hand, if you plan to pursue CFA or MBA or CImA or nothing, then you can start with a company.
2) the second question is more important which is that if you have a family to raise. i mean if your family is dependent on you or not bcz going into the audit firm will mean 3 more years of no earning (stipend to na honay k barabar hoti hai and waisay bhi, against the quality of training, the stipend is immaterial. if you go for the industry, you will gradually grow and learn the ropes and move up the career ladder.
my personal opinion is that if you are able to get into any of the big4, then grab the opportunity by the scruff of its neck. otherwise, go for the industry, work hard and trust god if you are not an atheist -)
