Bocconi BIEF vs HSG BBA vs HSG BSc Econ

Between these three, which is the most recommended for IB/consulting in Zurich, FFM, London, maybe Paris, etc. I am an IB student, 1530 SAT, 45/45 predicted, 7/7 10th and 11th gpa. I also know good german, and a little French. 

  1. Are these the three best programs for an undergrad in continental Europe for IB/PWM/Consulting? Do they lead to direct job offers in BBs or EBs in London, Zurich or FFM? 
  2. Will I need a master's to enter the job market? If so, do all three of these programs allow entry into the top master's programs?
  3. In the mentioned cities, which is best for salaries, career progression, quality of life, banking culture, etc. I have heard Zurich has the highest salaries and quality of life, but is really only good for PWM and has no progression. Is this true?
  4. My goal is eventually a top career in IB, consulting, PE, maybe wealth management, but essentially I want to build as much wealth for myself as possible.
  5. Are there any other unis that you guys can recommend, because from what I've heard, these are the best.
  6. Between these three, which is the best for IB/consulting/PWM in Zurich, London and FFM. I have heard Bocconi is too theoretical, HSG Econ is only good for policy, and HSG BBA is too broad. I don't know what to think anymore, so am asking for advice here. 
  7. What is the best way to get job offers from Bocconi and HSG. Is it still spring week --> Summer internship --> return offer, and how is it structured in both of these unis? How is their pipeline to high finance and consulting in London, Zurich and FFM without a Master's?

Thanks in advance for any advice, really appreciate it.
