Aspiring Sell-Side Trader; What MSc program should I take after undergrad.

Hello everyone,

As an undergraduate student at a non-target school (studying Economics & Honours Minor in Statistics). I have realized that to get to where I want to go (IR Derivatives Trader at BB) It would be in my best interest to take a master's degree in mathematics, Financial Engineering, Data Science, Applied Statistics..etc.

With that being said I would like to gain a better understanding of which masters programs would benefit me the most (In particular I really enjoy Data Science and Statistics);

• Masters in Financial Engineering 

• Masters in Data Science 

• Masters in Statistics or Applied Statistics 

• Masters in Applied Mathematics 

• Other Masters' programs which would be really good.

I am trying to prepare for a long and illustrious career in the securities industry, not just on the sell-side, but hopefully one day on the buy-side as well. This is why in particular I really enjoy Data Science and Applied Statistics because I understand that being able to work with data is a crucial factor in being a proprietary trader on the buy-side. Whereas Financial Engineering would be really good for Trader on the sell-side of the street. Now obviously all of these programs would help me with my endeavors but id like to know, given my aspirations and career trajectory, which one of the following master's degrees would help me best?

I'd appreciate any input or comments regarding this subject. Thank you!
