In France it goes as follows: HEC, ESSEC then ESCP. ESCP is a french school so you will not have an advantage in London. I would aim for LSE or LBS which are more recognised globally than french schools except if you want to live in Paris for an extended period of time. Good luck!

My personal view: are you just considering how those masters place in BB, élite boutique, etc or you are also considering to live a life experience that you will remember when you are gonna be 50 years old?

If you prefer the second choiche, go for escp, hands down, probably the best master's in europe for his structure, great placement both in paris and london( not comparable to lse, lbs, imperial but still great, if you spend your last semester in london) and you are gonna enjoy your's last years as a student.

But if you are just considering the placement in the ivy banking enviroment, i'd also not go for lse and lbs, too expensive, instead i would prefer bocconi finance( probably the most respected master's in the banking sector, if you do not study in london), 2 years, 14k per year, or sse finance, decent placement in london and its free for EU student( amazing ROI ).

If you get into bocconi finance i hope you're gonna be alive after the first year, because you are gonna try the banking hours :)

 

If you wanna work in paris( or at least have the door open for both london and paris) go for a french master's, like Hec mif, essec mif, escp, em lyon.

Lse, st gallen, lbs and bocconi are not designed to place in paris, obviously they CAN bring you in paris in the finance sector( they are all four tier 1 in europe, well respected in the sector, they can place you everywhere you want in europe if you are an EU citizen, probably just swiss is hard to get into) but this is not the easiest way to break into.
