Is Bocconi a good option for IB in the US

Hey everyone,
I've been exploring my options for pursuing a career in IB in the US, Bocconi. I know that Bocconi is based in Italy and an ocean away. I heard that it might be a good option, but I'm not sure.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has insights about Bocconi and its reputation in the US. Are there alumni who have successfully made this transition? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Bocconi is indeed a prestigious institution and is well-regarded in the finance industry. It has a strong placement record in Milan and is the only target Italian university for all the big banks, regardless of the location.

However, the transition to the US might be a bit challenging due to the geographical distance and potential visa issues. It's also important to note that while Bocconi is highly respected, it may not carry the same level of name recognition in the US as some of the top US colleges.

That being said, if you're good and you network effectively, you can certainly make it into IB in the US from Bocconi. It's all about leveraging the resources at your disposal, making connections, and standing out from the crowd.

Remember, it's not just about where you go, but what you do with the opportunities you're given. So, if Bocconi is where you want to be, go for it! Just be prepared to put in the work to reach your goals.
