Asset Management career

I’ve just graduated with an MSc in Finance from a public, non-target university, and I’m currently working in Big Four consulting in the corporate banking consulting area. I want to move into asset management in Milan, but I haven’t been able to get interviews. I’m about to start CFA Level I. Do you have any advice? Would it make sense to pursue an Executive Master in Finance at Bocconi in two years? Would it provide access to the asset management industry in Milan?
