CEMS Non tier 1 uni vs St Gallen SIM

I just got accepted on both CEMS (home school outside europe and host schools LSE + HEC) and St Gallen SIM master. As my main goal is to get a job in MBB or Venture capital in europe which one would you recommend?

The SIM master is better ranked and I really liked the courses, but I feel it's only recognized in DACH region, while for the CEMS even though HEC and LSE are pretty strong names, my host school is not that well known in europe...
