Bocconi Decision for undergrad

I am an international high school senior who has rejected ED from Northwestern, which was my first choice but was accepted into Bocconi's bachelor's in International Economics and Management. I preferred to do an undergrad in the US and get into finance - IB or consulting in NY

If I did go to Bocconi:

How hard is it to get a high finance job (outside of Italy) without a masters?

Is doing an MBA in the US harder than if I went to a US school?

Does any of Bocconi prestige translate to the US?

1. Obviously, Bocconi holds most of its prestige in Italy but does have some prestige in London. Right now the market is tough even for the best UK schools... So I would recommend going to a school in a country you want to work afterwards so a US bachelor for the US.

2. Going to a bachelor in the US or Abroad does not influence. Going abroad can even help but your overall profile matters more - your GPA, GMAT and work experience + Extracuriculars.
