What program I should choose?

Hello guys, I am in need for some advice regarding which masters program I should go with. I am a final year student at a decent italian university studying finance. My goal is to land a good consulting/IB gig however I am open to other roles too. (I am based in Italy keep that in mind) I just got accepted into a masters program (Finance) at Bologna Business School which is a decent school in Italy. However, my other option is to do a masters at bocconi university, (Masters in Quantitative finance and risk management or Mafinrisk) or a masters in business law. Now if I get into mafinrisk I'll definitely go to Bocconi. But I i got rejected for mafinsrisk and I get accepted into the masters of business law (which is less competitive), which program do you think I should go for? the masters in business law at bocconi or the masters in finance at bologna business school? Do you think the brand bocconi has makes it worth it to pivot a little from a traditional finance degree? note: I have 2 finance internships, studied technicals for banking from WSO courses and already have a networking plan to try my best to land an offer. And I have no intrest in working in law as a legal council or in an NGO etc… I am just doing it for the bocconi brand. Please feel free to give me any advice
