COMPARE CMU MSCF vs Columbia Financial Economics

[liuyanji]

I'm an economics major from China, with half a year of working experience as an option market maker. I want the program to open more opportunities for me in US as a traditional trader/quant trader/buyside researcher. Could anyone give some advice regarding the choice? I don't know much about the prospects of these 2 programs especially CBS MSFE.

I think CBS got prestige (?maybe), but in terms of employment stats CMU is pretty dominant. It would be great if you could suggest which one is stronger to place me to some specific roles, say, BB S&T roles.

Thanks. BTW CMU NY campus.

Columbia Financial Economics does not have a useful career service. A useless one? Oh yes they have one. If you are fine with that, then go for it.
