Bocconi undergrad job possibilities

Bocconi seems to be the target school on the continent for IB and in general high finance. In your experience how possible or optimal is it to start working right after bocconi undergrad? I feel social pressure to get masters. If masters is "necessary" then can I get normal Italian uni undergrad and than do bocconi mfin? What do you guys think would be more optimal ?

You are right to use the word "seems" it is not; depends on which market you are talking about. Would say HSG is in front

 

Well, I have heard that in London they have good connections and are well known. I am interested in IB and have some knowledge of Italian plus they offer good financial support. So am I really compromising?

Wouldn’t put HSG in front, simply because Bocconi is so much more international that it sends people to London, Mailand, but also all other European financial hubs to work after. As we are specifically talking about bachelors, I would choose Bocconi, especially if you don’t speak German. It is no problem starting to work right after the Bsc and you can continue your masters at Bocconi. For masters, the HSG MBF is also a great choice, I honestly don’t see a big difference between the two.
