Hello, I'm a junior transfer student and trying to get some advice from field experts.

I got into USC Marshall and Cornell Dyson.

My goal is to get into the consulting business and to share a little bit of myself; I went to CC in LA and made myself a home away from home here. 

The reason why I'm contemplating between those two is because of infrastructure. If I stay in LA, I will definitely enjoy my life more and have less stress from the weather. However, I also know that LA does not have a big finance market. On the other hand, Cornell is on the east coast, and it will give me an IVY league name.

I did some research by myself, and so far, what I've heard is USC is really good with Big-Four firms in LA, and consulting firms start recruiting in the fall of junior year. I don't really have any connection at Cornell, so I don't know how it works, but I would like to get some insight if anyone graduated or is currently in Dyson school.

Also, please let me know how is the job market in NY.

Thank you ahead,
