IE vs ESSEC MIF

Hi everyone,

I've been accepted to MIF at ESSEC Paris and IE Madrid!!

At the moment, I am unsure on which one to choose so I would like to get some opinions and solid facts about the two programs, university, reputation, international placement across Europe...

IE has recently been excluded from the 2018 FT rankings due to irregularities. Do you think that should affect my decision?

Afterwards I want to work in PE, IB or Financial consulting!! Haven't decided the on country yet.

Background: I'm a Brazilian international student who has done his bachelor at Rotterdam School of Management. Previously lived in Belgium for high school.
