French Top 3 b-school alumn and M&A An1 here.

Are Audencia, Grenoble and Neoma good? Yes, they are good and they will land you a job upon graduation in France. However, you need to keep in mind that they aren't in the top 5 in the country, so it will be tougher for you.

Can you have a fulfilling career out of them? I am sure you can, as fulfillment does not equal working at a top 3 BB or EB.

You will have to network the sh*t out of it to break into top banks, maybe you can first do an M&A corpo internship, then M&A internship at a French bank (BNP, SG, CA) and after that a third (and final internship) at an EB or BB leading to a full-time position at said bank. It will definitely be easier to break into an EB in Paris (as opposed to into a BB) as networking will take you further at boutiques.

Best of luck
