RSM vs ESCP

Still not sure between RSM finance & investment or ESCP Msc Finance. Anyone with experience regarding these programs? Especially quality of program and career opportunities?

I am fluent in French, Dutch and English and looking for investment banking job/internship in either Amsterdam, Paris or ideally London afterwards. What are my chances with one of those programs, language fluency but with limited working experience? + Any requests?

Thx

i'm in the later. i don't know about RSM you won't get a job in Paris unless you speak perfect french and have 2 years of internships. Rabobank's F&A group recruits from ESCP London works too but you'd need relevant internships.

RSM places a decent amount of people in London every year, but your grades have to be top notch and you usually need good internships as well. Also, a lot of these people are dutch citizens or at least fluent in dutch and are placed in the benelux coverage team. As you said, your were fluent in Dutch you could also obtain banking jobs in Holland, for which RSM is regarded as the best school, or target for that matter. The International banking cycle and London Banking tour are good feeders into internships and jobs so try to get into these events if you were to choose ESCP.
