help me make a decision

guys i am in my final year of my bachelors degree, i got accepted to Erasmus University (ESE) in the Netherlands for two masters a masters in financial economics and a masters in accounting and auditing and control (my path is finance and accounting), both programs are really good and placements are really good I also applied for a masters in economics at Mcgill,Queens,UBC and Uoft got accepted at all of them except Uoft, which one would u go for? to give u some context I want to work in finance/management consulting and I want to settle in the country that I do my masters in after graduation at least for a couple of years. I think both countries have a similar standard of living but which do u think is better to start a new life? thanks

I don’t think ESE has a good placement?

But there’s some forks been able to break into IB via financial economics (Dutch speaking)
