US or UK Quant Programs

[dhruvil]

Hi, I am confused between accepting offers from US universities and from UK ones. Could we have a discussion regarding which country is preferred generally?
My criteria for judgments are -
1) Better job opportunities in hedge funds/banks/trading firms
2) In-depth course structure (I feel US universities go more in-depth in the courses than the UK ones)

More job opportunities in the US.

The US definitely has the biggest financial market spread out over many major cities: NYC, Chicago, Boston, California, etc. This results in large number of people employed in the industry in various roles.
The salary is much higher in US vs UK.
