If you really want to go to London, take IC.
(ever considered their MRes in Stochastic Analysis  ...

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, I'm going to consider it very carefully. I agree that it's rather hard to get a job in Zurich after graduation because I'm not a EU resident and I have got no knowledge of German.........But is it possible to look for a job in London with the diploma of ETH ?Another thing I worry about the IC program is that in their website, they haven't provided any information for the employment of the previous students, (while for the ETH one they provide details about that) , does it mean that it's rather hard to get a good position after graduating from IC ?
BTW, you said that LSE is the last one to be considered, is it because LSE is not a quantitative school?

1. Not knowing big Deutsch is not a problem while getting a quant job in Zurich. The visa is the only major one.
It is not impossible to go to London after ETH QF, but things are difficult. (nothing is impossible right?)
Visa in Switzerland and UK are both difficult (Swiss is more I think.)
Someone said around half of the IC class stayed London for a job.

2. IC is one of the toppest MFE and getting a job in London is not a problem if you have a EU passport.
I will say, the plan A for IC is London, plan B will be back home.
while the plan A for ETH is Zurich, plan B will be Frankfurt or etc.

I guess the best point of IC one is opening you door to London
while the ETH give you a longer time of solid education + time for job seeking.

3. LSE is a school for social science, but not a school for science and engineering.

4. the comment about the view of UK master in HK on #17 is basically......bullshit.
the major problem for you to find a job in HK is not the visa or language, nor the view of a UK master, but somehow a location problem. you have to be really top such that the employer are willing to consider you given you are not there........

我也纠结过这个问题。
据项目的学姐说近几年没有能留在欧洲工作的例子，留下的都是继续读博的。16年校友上面的那个中国人已经在瑞士工作生活了好多年。总之感觉很困难，ethz 其他专业的学长学姐也是这种论调…
自己因为打算读博所以不打算去mqf，而是去ethz 读数学。就不纠结了…

我LSE的三个小伙伴。。都在伦敦轻松找到工作啊。。IBD和PE都还好找啦。考虑回国的话，就看校友圈子吧，不过 ...

能在伦敦IB里找到工作的国人（中国国籍），谁都不轻松，说轻松的，只能说你根本没申请过。。还有我同班童鞋还去HK做Trader了，偏见。。只不过是你不够强而已

IC该项目大概30%-50%中国国籍的国人能留下来（这些国人要么communication skill很好，要么Quantitative skill极佳）。。大部分都是参加完实习项目后，留下的（有留在原公司，有重新申请其他position的）。。所以在伦敦留下来，最重要就是有公司实习，Generally speaking, fresh graduate without any internship before is almost impossible to be hired no matter where you graduated from...增加你留下来的几率还显著和你programming skill有关，programming好，机会会比大部分人多

不是我的偏见啊。。我只是转述我在汇丰的朋友的话，他们不招英硕啊

你HR朋友也是敢说。。。HSBC应该还轮不到完全不招哪里硕士，不论我们大陆背景，HK那么多local去UK读书的，不招英硕。。厉害

信你朋友半成, 雙目即刻失明.
別人說乜你都信, 還要引用, 閣下的水平也是.......

又同時能夠說出英國找工作很容易, 其實........我會想直接說你在說廢話的.

是啊因为h1b太难，所以美硕每年都溢出啊。。他们部门就是一个英硕也没有

难道我在Barclays FX Quant组里时，里面没有一个美硕，就是不招美硕？线性推理真心服了。。。算了，我退却了。。看官自己判断吧。。多一个perspective，可能也不是坏事，有可能你的世界确实远比我们轻松~GOOD LUCK,anyway~

拜託, 別欺負弱智的人好嗎? :lol

這種思維的人的人生肯定是輕鬆的....因為不用使用腦袋嗎
