Bocconi
Im considering attending bocconi for undergrad and am wondering how feasible it is to graduate from Bocconi undergrad, do IB/MBB in London for 2-3 years and exit to an American office, either in MBB, PE, or Corp Strat? I am an American citizen btw.
Is Bocconi a London Target? Im assuming its a non target for nyc.
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.

Coming from an incoming Bocconi finance major that's also a US citizen, it's pretty tough to get a job straight out of undergrad unless ur top bucket at Bocconi and multilingual (key for london IB). That's just the nature of EU universities, as your competition is masters students at LBS and even Bocconi. Not to mention that needing a work visa will add to the difficulty of employment
Since you don't have to worry about H1B, another approach could be to try for the best MFin programs in the US (Princeton, MIT) as Bocconi grads with top grades do place quite considerably there from what I've seen on LinkedIn.
Damn, I’ve heard Bocconi is incredibly rigorous so I don’t know if I could get top marks there. I’ll probably just try for US targets and use family connections then.
Generally, go to school where you want to work.
Going to Italy because you want to work in London to get to USA, is a choice...
Agree with the other commentor, hard to do as a monolingual english speaker versus all the italians, even harder to do straight from undergrad in a sea of masters students.
If you're not living in America rn the decision might change a bit but otherwise sticking to USA is prob the easier path.
