Which Undergraduate Education option?

In your opinion, which do you think is better for attaining a Sales & Trading job in London and New York respectively? (Please explain your answer)

London School of Economics for a BSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics
or
Columbia University for a BS Operations Research: Financial Engineering

Thanks alot for answering guys.

 

LSE wins for London, hands down. More quant, better networking options. Schools matter a LOT in the UK. And a UK school always gives you a leg up.
