ETH Zurich MQF vs UC Berkeley (Deferred)?

[sheamusthegreatkhali]

I'm an Indian and have got an interview invitation from ETH Zurich for their MQF program. I wanted to ask, how much easy are employment opportunities post the degree? I couldn't find any data points. I'd to let go of my UC Berkeley MFE Admission this year because of financial constraints ( I come from a low middle class income family ) and some negative reviews from UCB Alumini. ETH Zurich MQF seems cheap but I'm having double thoughts now on employment opportunities.

Current background:
Tier 1 IIT CSE Graduate from India
Currently working as a Quant Strat Associate at a BB (~3 years of Experience)

I'm wondering if I should wait for an year and apply to UC Berkeley again or go with ETH Zurich.

My motivation is to move outside India. I'm fine with both Europe or USA but don't want to do a degree that can impact my employment opportunities afterwards. Can someone share light for a non EU citizen how's the scene of employment for ETH Zurich grads?

Programs outside of the US are not really focused on employment stats. Their stats are rarely updated. Overall, they don't have the infrastructure to collect, survey and tabulate the employment data. As a result, the salary data is very low quality.
Here is the latest employment data for ETH Zurich from risknet
Employment rate 100%
Unavailable employment data 10%
Graduates in further study 11%
Graduates employed in Banking: 33%; consulting: 10%; FinTech: 24%; academia: 18%; other sectors: 15%
Post-master’s salaries $129,156

trust, you'll win a absolutely ridiculous amount of money if you go to ETH and do things properly. just go on their website and look at their graduate placement. this master is the best in europe by far. given the cost, I wouldn't even hesitate if I was in your position (check my tracker :p)
