Grad school advice needed

Hi,

I have 3+ years experience working for the British Government as an economic researcher and forecaster. Now I'm looking to go to grad school and would like some advice on my admits.

My training in economics is good, and my aim is to either progress to the PhD or look for a research analyst position (ideally as an economist) at a bank, fund or economic consultancy.

My offers are:

LSE: MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics Cambridge: MPhil Economics University College London: MSc Economics Barcelona Graduate School of Economics: MSc Economics

I am interested in the reputation of each programme and institution in the private sector, I'm aware of the public sector and academic reputations.

Thanks in advance, any advice will be appreciated!!
