Thoughts on MSc Investment and Wealth Management from Imperial College? Tips on securing jobs?

Hola Amigos,

I am due to start at Imperial Business School later this year and was wondering what the pros think about ICL's Investment and Wealth Management program. I also received an offer from King's College London from MSc Banking and Finance but decided to go with ICL.

Also, would be great if anyone has tips/advice on what steps I can take to secure a job faster and whether I should aim for London based roles or apply elsewhere. Background: I graduated from an American high school in South-East Asia and then went to a mid-tier Uni in the UK for an undergrad in Economics (Got a 1st there and finished in around 2 years). Then, did a couple of internships including one at Nomura based in Asia and started a small investment fund (nothing serious just family & friends). I more interested in buy-side firms (specifically valuation related roles at PE & HFs) but wouldn't mind IB roles either.

Any tips or things I should worry about? More importantly, things I need to add to my CV or work on to secure a graduate job?
