ESADE is recognized as a semi-target for investment banking in London, often referred to simply as "the City." This means that while it may not be on the same level as some top target schools, it still holds a respectable position and its graduates have viable pathways into investment banking roles in London. This is evidenced by the fact that several ESADE alumni are working in London in investment banking roles, despite the school being located in Spain.

Thanks ! and compared to IE in Madrid.. which one is better known for a BBA? I did not make it to a target so I am considering these two options

 

For a BBA, ESADE is better than IE. For a master's program it's, generally, the opposite. For IB, I would say that, yes, ESADE is pretty known. I'm an Esade student and there have been ~10 students (over 400) that got into BB banks for summer internships. Just be consistent, start early (spring weeks), have good grades, network a lot, join the finance society and you'll get someting
