At NYU, you will get access to Wassermann center. You will get emails about internship/jobs from Melissa, the program's secretary. You also benefit from having practitioners teaching in the program.
At MIT, your go to source is the CDO office which oversee placement/services for all Sloan programs.
NYU has done well in the past (according to info on their website) due to its location, small class size and the number of practitioners in the program.
However, due to the shrinking pool of traditional quantitative jobs and the increasing number of MFE graduates from NYC-based programs and nationally, NYU is not likely going to be competitive enough if they don't put in place dedicated structure for their program.
You can see the trend everywhere. Columbia IEOR just hired a full-time person for their MFE program. Boston is hiring an
executive director for the career services. Baruch hired Ellen Reeves to provide personal career coaching for their MFE students.
A lot of similar things are going in other programs, in various ways.
So, before you go into any program, make sure what you will get. They won't give you a job but they should have a structured system in place to help you maximize your opportunity there.
