it depends what is overall career, it you talk about package then go for ES. In terms of progression, you have to be extremely driven (as compared to MX). it's like your peers are all high driven individuals and/or scholars from top universities so progression can be quite limited if everyone is all fighting for the same opening, or. you will probably just be a senior economist along the way? You probably need to do a masters for progression, and if you are outstanding and groomable then MTI would probably sponsor you. i think economist are seconded to other ministries rather than staying in MTI. Overall, ES is very intellectual. I think keep your options open and do your best at university, like someone mentioned they are very competitive and selective.

MX is more of a generalist.
