Which route is better for IB?

Could someone tell me which option I should pick if i want to become a banker in the United States -

  1. Undergrad finance at NYU Stern.
  2. Undergrad accounting and finance at Warwick in the UK, along with an ICAEW degree.

Even if i go to the UK, i want to come back to the states, so which one would help increase my chances of getting a good job?

Wouldnt go as far to compare Stern and Warwick, they're both good in their own territory. But it makes sense to study at Stern if you're looking at finding something NYC/US.
