LSE BSC Finance VS UC Berkeley for IB/Fund Management
I was recently accepted into LSE Finance and UC Berkeley. I am interested in IB/fund management either in Singapore/USA and am wondering which school would be better for me. I know deep down I would rather go to Berkeley because of the environment, but the risks that come with this choice (not knowing if I will get into Haas) make me doubt my decision.
Pros of LSE: 3 years finance degree, won’t have to do Masters in finance BUT very rigid curriculum and probably won’t enjoy myself as much
Pros of Berkeley: Good business school, will definitely enjoy myself more BUT if i don’t get into Haas I will have to do Econ and probably spend another year doing a Masters in Finance
Which school do you think has higher employability in Asia/America (Even if I work in Asia I would want to work in American financial institutions eg JP Morgan). Do you think the pros of LSE finance outweigh the better (imo) environment at Berkeley?
Although LSE has better placement rate , from what you have said, i definitely think you should go to Cal. Even if you don't get into Haas, it will still serve you well in getting FT IB offers.
Berkeley by a mile. Don’t go to the LSE unless you want to work in Europe
LSE 100% has better reps and alumni network with all IB, PE, HF in Asia.
