Manchester masters vs Bath masters for IB in London

Hi, I just received offers for Alliance masters in international business and management as well as for bath masters in management. I am an 2020 passout working in management consulting at big4 out of India. Which one should I choose for a career in IB or apply in 2024 cycle to much better schools like LBS etc. Any advice is appreciated.

Nothing really to Expand on. A quick search of Linkedn will clearly show you that people who break into IB post-undergraduate degree are people who do postgrad finance programs at LSE, LBS or HEC or Bocconi. You are coming from a big 4 background and not even doing a MSc in Finance let alone going to a traditionally post grad target Uni. Those Uni's aren't even targets at undergrad level buddy. If you are solely focused on IB I would suggest not to waste your money. If you want the best possible ops, grind at gain a place at the schools mentioned above

I wouldnt even include Bocconi for London if you dont have prior IB experience in some european country. Of course Bocconi is a great program, but I believe the other mentioned Unis give you the best chances.
