Is LSE enough for quant (vs UCL)
This question has probably been asked a ton but I'm struggling to find specific answers to my question.
I recently got an offer for Financial Math and Stats at LSE, and have the goal of becoming a quant trader (less so researchers and no interest in dev). Most job postings I see ask for (Applied) Math, Phys, CS, Stat etc and just want to know can LSE's prestige get me a quant internship (yes I understand its not just about the uni and other skills/individual research etc) and overcome the gap in math "rigor" compared to UCL. Other job postings usually state Math but I'm unsure whether Financial Math part of the course will cut it, as many of the key math topics I've seen demanded are at least in some of the course modules- or if it would even pass hiring "screening" seeing FMath.
I usually see the standard, stereotypical response of "No LSE is not mathematical enough" but then also "Quant Trading is less mathematical then research/dev" (which yes differs between firms) so I just want more direct opinions on the fine line for if the math in this course can cut it (again assuming I'm not just wasting and doing 0 networking from uni experience)
