Finding jobs after an MFE/Fin Math/MSc

Hi I'm entering a quantitative MSc this fall, and I'm starting to do a bit of career planning. I wanted to take a quick survey of those of you who have completed similar degrees have found jobs? Did you apply for the "associate"/"analyst" programs? Did you do and internship and then get offered a full time position? Did you just graduate and start looking? Did you use a recruiter? How early did you start networking and how much did that pay off for you? Thanks

I'm doing a program in Holland, but I was planning to take a shot at the London milk round, thats why I'm asking this early.

Seriously? No one has anything to add?
