ESADE MSF

Fellow primates,

I am in dire need of advice.

For a career in quant research at an asset management firm, which of the following programs is best given I already have a BS in Finance: - ESADE MSF - concentration in Big Data and Asset Pricing (have not heard back yet): I speak Spanish and would be fine working in Spain. - UChicago MPCS (accepted with 25-40% scholarship) - computer science professional master's for those with little coding experience - Lehigh MFE (accepted with 100% tuition paid) - math focused program with what looks like weak placement

I am also waiting to hear back from the UChicago MSFM.

Thx
