HEC MIF or LBS MFA

LBS MFA has probably the best placement out of those 2 in London, but both great programs.

Keep in mind that the rankings aren't reliable. FT ranks based on salary after a number years, weighted by increments of I think 1, 3, and 5 years. That's not a good predictor. Many people do their masters go to other schools for MBAs and pump their salaries after a while, for example. Don't make it your number 1 decision point. 

These two programmes are equally good imho. I'd go to HEC because of their dual degree programmes for more exposure and opportunities. 

If you want London and want to maximize career outcome take the MFA, but both are great programs so if you want a change of scenery HEC would work too. By the way at HEC you will not be directly in Paris (1h away) so you need to be comfortable living in a college town versus a large city like you are used to in London right now. There are pros and cons to both of course.

Both are great. Go where you prefer to live. Would say in continental Europe HEC much better, in London probably similar and fit into the small circle of Oxbridge / LSE / LBS / HEC top target schools 

LBS MFA without any doubt. If you speak French then HEC comes close (networking opportunities at HEC are easier if you speak French). Don't think that any school in Europe beats LBS when it comes to placement tbh.

Hard choice but Id go with HEC

I am doing HEC MIF now so definitely biased, but I would 100% go to HEC. Placement is stellar and life on campus is amazing in my opinion. Many friends did LBS MFA and were not as happy about the program nor the placement

Factor in the possibility of UK visa access for internships getting harder to get and/or the unwillingness of banks to sponsor them the way they’ve been doing the past 2y. If you want to end up in LON, I’d go for LBS hands down

What I heard from others in LND is that Oxford>LBS=LSE>HEC for placement in LND. Is this accurate?

Total disclosure I applied to LBS, LSE & HEC, got into LSE & LBS (didn't put much effort in the HEC app tho), and chose to attend LBS (incoming student)
