LSE vs Georgetown for MSc.
Hey guys! Could really appreciate some advice here. I got into LSE MISDI and Georgetown MS Global Real Assets (at MSB) and am having a tough time with choosing what degree to go for.
For a bit of background: I am an American student who did his UGrad in Scandinavia, I've always had an interest in finance (doing the classic student investment club and competions, buying 0DTE options, etc) but I ended up doing a PPE like degree and didn't get into LSE Fin. Personally, I'd really like to go into traditional IBD (such as M&A, LevFin, DCM or TMT Coverage) due to having family who work/worked in primarily credit and SS HF and family in the TMT (non-finance) space, I've had the most exposure to these spaces and find them the most fascinating. I've always been involved in tech with my internships and work-ex being related primarily to the tech sector (currently work in AI consulting as a summer intern).
I know both degrees aren't ideal, mainly due to MISDI being more of a tech consulting feeder and GRA being mainly for real estate and I'm not too interested in either field. Really my only interest in REPE comes from the complexity of the deals, leverage involved, and the legal knowledge gained in the work, not really the asset class and tech consulting seems incredibly bloated and also removes the option of entering buyside unless by sheer luck I end up at MBB.
I am well aware of the current economic issues and as such plan on applying to consulting, IBD, and the tech sector after whichever MSc. Would really love some perspectives from anyone on which might optimize my chances for ending up in either MBB or Big4 Strategy (NY, DC, London) or, god willing, IBD. The main problem is that I truly love London as a city and don't have the same love for DC.
Sorry for any grammar mistakes, I'm up at 4 am making slides and suddenly thought of asking this question!
