Which masters would would maximize my opportunities/Which one would you choose? Career-wise, after 2 internships in IB (Central-European MM IB) I would like to move towards either Consulting, PE, or AM/HF, which I know are miles apart from each other, but couldn't make up my mind until now.
Thanks!

Anyone?
Bump again
I would go to Erasmus. Simply because the name of the university is great and the Netherlands is a country that is friendly to international talent. Plus, considering its economy is one of the best in Europe with regards to the ratio GDP/Size.
I would absolutely pick Erasmus. Has a better rep, better placement and more well known academic facility.
CBS is fine and all but tends to be more regional in terms of placement, fine for native speakers but why not have the optionality of leaving the area after graduation?
Best of luck!
MSc Financial Economics at Erasmus for sure. Reason is that the programme is quite flexible given that you have to do 5 electives (doesn't matter what finance courses you would like to take, i.e. you're not bounded by certain finance tracks) and 2 seminars. Furthermore, Erasmus University Rotterdam has a strong financial study association called FSR that organises International Banking Cycle every year, where several IB visit the campus for recruitment. Also, the uni has the largest student investment society of the Netherlands which has several alumni working in IB (bulge brackets in London), PE, consulting or trading (Optiver, Flow Traders). Hence, good for networking.
Note that Erasmus is considered as a target school for IB in London.
I went with Erasmus for those wondering. No regrets!
