Queens or Rotman Masters of Finance

Wondering if anyone has some feedback regarding the Queens and Rotman Masters of Finance programs? Is one much superior to the other? I'd love to end up as a fixed income analyst for an investment management firm or bank. Not interested in i-banking or moving to New York etc.

I have 5 years energy trading experience, speculative not hedging, for a large corporation out West. And, five years finance/pension systems consulting. Two undergrad degree's; comp sci (2.6 gpa) and Economics (3.7 gpa). No CFA and no friends/network outside of energy trading and associated hedge funds.

Looking to branch out and pursue a masters level education as our firm is more than likely closing up the desk (or just firing everyone), and there are fewer and fewer spec trading positions out there.

I like the one year Queens program as it's half the price versus Rotman, and half the duration. That second year could allow me to even do the one year Ivey MBA if I was very ambitious. Two designations for the same price/time if was to take Rotman's MFin.

Being out West, I have little to go by as to which program is better regarded or opens doors.

Thank you for any advice!

I get a feeling that the Toronto MFin is for more experienced people. With that said, I think both schools have a good program and a great name.
