LSE EME vs MIT MFin
Sort of niche question, but for some context, am currently interning at a top HF in NYC (prop trading), and completed my undergrad at a T5 uni prior to this. Have a year to kill, and eventually would like to do an econ PhD in life, and am picking between the MIT MFin and the LSE EME (MIT is allowing me to skip the summer semester).
Curious about the LSE EME program's reputation should I wish to pivot from my firm in NYC and work closer to home in London. In academia it is probably the best Econ masters by a long shot, but just unsure about how it aligns with wanting to do time in industry for a while after since I don't want to do a PhD until later. While the MFin would be useful in helping me come to the USA, I'm not sure it makes sense for someone from my background (strong internship, top undergrad w/ strong grades, etc.) especially given its 2x the cost.
Curious to solicit thoughts, especially from those more familiar with macro shops in London!
