McGill MMF VS HEC Montréal Msc in Finance

Hey everyone. I am interested in a pre experience master in finance in Montreal and those two programs seem to be the bests. I am really doubting on which one to go for. Do you have any intel on which master offer the best carreer opportunities?McGill seems to be in the top in the rankings when it comes to pre experience masters, (QS #2 and Financial Times #1 in Canada). I thought McGill was by far my best option but I saw that the MMF graduates average salary is only 65k while HEC graduates who do not have a strong ranking get 77k on average (their official websites).Which master should I choose? Any intel is welcome, thank you.

if you want to stay in montreal and you can speak french i would go for HEC because its cheaper and has very good placements in montreal however if you’re willing to pay the extra money go for mcgill they have a bigger brand outside of montreal and if you network join their student fund you can land a decent role with good pay
