St. Gallen | Quant Finance programs

Hi everyone,

Looking to gain some input on one of my potential choices for graduate studies.

I come from Latin America and have 5 years of relevant work experience in Finance. Specifically working on several Sales & Trading desk at a BB (FX Trading a couple of months, ALM/Liquidity Management the rest of it). I graduated as top 2% of my class and have a bit of academic experience abroad. No GMAT taken as of yet.

European Citizen.

I intend to relocate to Europe (UK included) and hence believe that a top program will help me land a job preferably on my current working field (Open to land AM/Structuring/HF/S&T/Corp Dev. roles).

In light of all of this, I believe that a quantitative masters from St. Gallen (HSG) is a suitable program for me.

Would this choice be applicable to my career and relocations aspirations? I'm reluctant of pre/short experience Masters, as it appears that the job opportunities of them lead to 1st Year analyst programs, while I'm looking to start at an Associate level. Nonetheless, I wanted to hear the opinion of the experts

Thanks!
