I studied Informatics and I absolutely loved it. It was the perfect combination of CS, Business, and Social Sciences. We really focused on connecting people and technology and they taught us a lot of the industries top skills like React and Firebase when they first came out.

went to Dartmouth, currently an engineer at a big tech firm. Would definitely recommend. Set me up well for a good career. Have lots of other friends in tech, ibanking, PE, etc

Studying some combination of computer science/software engineering and mathematics/statistics will allow you to pursue any of those careers. I'd say, based largely on number of alum I've seen and worked with at FAANG companies, CMU > Dartmouth > McGill > U Toronto. But all 4 are absolutely top class engineering programs with many graduates ending up at top companies.
