Hello. I am a Chinese student. I want to know which program has a better career development. I also want to know which program has better placement in China. Besides, if I work for three years in USA, will it do much help to find a better job in China compared with immediately going back to China after the study in MAFN? Thank you.
 
probably Oxford if you want to go to china. There's a ton of Chinese kids in Columbia's grad programs. Think Stats, Operations Research, MAFN, etc. And a lot of them (not MAFN though) end up in China bc they couldn't get jobs here. So Columbia's brand image in China is definitely diluted. But if you have the skillset and people skills, you can get almost any job you want in the US (IB, trading, hedge funds, etc) thanks to the Columbia name. Obviously the Oxford name is "better" but not having attended Oxford myself, I don't know how a grad student at Oxford will be viewed by IB's, HF's, PE firms, etc.
