I met someone that has a MS from Europe but no undergrad/bachelor's degree.
How is this possible? Do you know of anyone that did a masters without UG? Although rare, does this happen in the US (like currently)?
I'm just curious if you can get hired at a BB or IB with that. Or any large company tbh.
E.g. If you're from the US and do a masters/grad school right away at a good European school, what are your chances of getting hired here? Thanks.

Depends on the study, but some universities offer a full course (master + bachelor) in 1, as in some EU countries it is expected you do the masters with your undergrad.
Were they French and did they do Classe Prépa (this is not considered a bachelor or anything and has no academic classification/certification value but is - almost - compulsory to get into Business School « the French way »)
