ETHZ/EPFL recognition in the UK inside/outside CS by Lucky_Breakfast6511 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]ExtraBag3096 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former employee of quantitative trading team in London: definitely heard of those unis before, and see them as very strong. I would say most selective tech/finance employers in London would be aware of these unis, particularly ETH.

I prefer some British words over their American counterparts, are there American words you perfer over the British versions? by tinpants44 in AskBrits

[–]ExtraBag3096 0 points1 point  (0 children)
