Got into Bocconi - Now what?
Hello everyone,
I am an Italian student and I was recently admitted to the MSc in Finance at Bocconi University, starting this september.
I come from a small town in southern Italy, and up until a few months ago my most ambitious goal was to get a job at a Big4. I know getting admitted to such a prestigeous program opens up a lot of doors for me, and I want to make the most of it. However, I really know nothing about this "game" :)
Some info:
- I come from a small city, and during my bachelors I could get absolutely no internship. We only have big4 here and I understand they only hire graduates as interns in my local offices;
- I would like to emigrate: I'd love to work in Switzerland, but also London would be fine. I'm good with languages so that's not a big problem;
- I've heard horror stories about IB and I'm pretty sure that's not for me. My dream job doesn't need me to work crazy hours (let's say max 60h a week?) and pays decent money (70k? 80k? I don't really know how good are salaries in Switzerland);
- I really like asset management
You guys are more well-seasoned. What's your advice? What's the best path I should follow to get an AM job in Switzerland? Is that even possible given my situation?
Thank you very much in advance :)
