Bocconi

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:

• Bocconi University is generally considered a strong target for London investment banking (IB) and management consulting (MBB) roles. Many graduates from Bocconi successfully secure positions in these fields in London.

• Feasibility of Transitioning to the U.S.:

  • IB/MBB in London: Working in London for 2-3 years in IB or MBB can provide you with significant experience and a strong resume, which can be beneficial when transitioning to roles in the U.S.
  • Exit Opportunities: After gaining experience in London, transitioning to an American office in MBB, Private Equity (PE), or Corporate Strategy (Corp Strat) is feasible, especially since you are an American citizen. Your citizenship can simplify the process of moving back to the U.S. for work.

• Target Status:

  • London: Bocconi is considered a target school for London, meaning it is well-regarded and many firms actively recruit from there.
  • New York City (NYC): Bocconi is generally seen as a non-target for NYC, meaning it may be more challenging to secure roles directly in NYC without additional networking or experience.
