COMPARE CMU VS Baruch

[yilizhang]

I am currently working on my master degree in another area. I just want to find a great job after taking the MFE degree.

Baruch : great placement! Dan is really nice ! But it is not a sound brand
CMU: No idea about placement(when compared with baruch). Great reputation.

I kind prefer to find a job in US. Could anyone share opinion on this?

THX!!

what's your definition of a "great job"? lots of money?

A large company! Can actually learn something!
For example: Goldman, Morgan S, JP, Citi, DB something like that.

I am wondering if we just ignore the brand of the school. If we just focus on its placement, salary and position and of course their students' feedback would you also insist your opinion? Could you tell me why?
