IE vs ESADE (Msc Finance)

Good afternoon, 

I need your opinion for my masters in finance decision. Im between IE and ESADE, Im looking forward to work in Investment banking and stay in Spain (Im from Costa Rica). Based on the rankings, both are excellent choices. However, I've reading a lot of forums and comments about the exit opportunities in IB that both b schools offer and Im confused. There are a lot of negative reviews regarding IE msc finance, even though they have an investment banking and private equity track and a lot of campus connections with top investment banks.

 

I'm in a similar position. I'm also from Central America and want to pursue a similar path to you. In my case I chose the master in finance at ESADE and will be starting it later this year. Feel free to contact me on any questions. Personally I felt that the program is better at ESADE as it is a more European program with much better positioning in the UK. IE is much more focused on Central Europe and has a massive Latin American presence.
