EFPL MFE vs. home country

I have troubles making a decision - I'm going out of my mind!! The choice is between EPFL's MFE (Switzerland) vs. Ms. Financial Economics in Denmark (which is probably going to be more like a Mathematical finance).

If I stay in Denmark, I would try to apply as a visiting graduate student at some good US or UK universities. I can basically take whatever finance courses I like - so I was planing on taking some mathematics and stochastic calculus/finance courses + credit risk modelling with David Lando and then visit a good US school (stay there for 0,5-1 year max).

If I go to Switzerland, I would follow the MFE and I think I would have to leave Switzerland after ending my education. There's almost no info about the placement, salary etc. and if there is, it's not official...

I like to live here and might want to work here after taking my masters but I'd like to have an "international" profile if I want to go to London (or something like that) in the future... Help! :)
