Hello! I've got a question for those working in London. From which business schools or universities do the French bankers come from? I know the 3 main ones are HEC/ESSEC/ESCP but I was wondering if there is any other that I haven't heard about. Maybe you could provide me with a little ranking ;)

Hec in top of everyone - Great placement in all BB, access to some "private" off-cycles
Then ESSEC / ESCP come behind, being both at same level, nice alumni base but not something impressive at all.
Then your best bet would be Lyon or SKEMA but their placement seems to be worsening.
In any case the safe bet here is HEC
What about EDHEC, Dauphine or Sciences Po? Do some of them come from there?
Semi targets a bit below Essec/ESCP
