Dreaming of London IB/PE: LSE MSc Fin vs LBS MFA (Indian Undergrad, No Exp)

“Graduating BSc Finance from Mumbai in 2026. No internships yet, but doing CFA L1 in May 2026 + 1 year of work before MSc. Looking at LSE MSc Finance (10 months) vs LBS MFA (16 months). Heard international students really struggle for jobs in London. Is the brand name enough, or am I setting myself up for failure?”
