PRIME is a solid program, similar to CPMT at UoC. Both place well into IB. S&T is less prevalent in Calgary however there are some FX sales and commodity desks (RBC, Scotia, etc.). There are also some speculative commodity trading shops (BP, GS, etc.) but I assume you mean bank trading (GS is an anomaly here with their phys desk. JPM might have one too but forget if they sold their book or not)
if you were offered to choose between PRIME and CPMT, what would you choose? Is Calgary as a city better in terms of recuriment and quality of life??
Prime all the way. Calgary is 2nd to Toronto in the number of IB / banking jobs… being the 2nd oil producer (by reserves) in the world needs a lot of capital, hence why so many banks (including globals) have offices there. The negative thing is that you will get exposure to O&G and that’s it… it is a challenge in that it may make it difficult to lateral to other cities if you want to change industries, but it also will make it easier as O&G is not sexy and the banks there have serious retention problems.
Do Prime. Lots of PRIME alumni in Calgary banking/finance scene. Plus, worst case if you apply outside of Calgary UofA will be better than Haskayne.
