LBS MFA Vs Bocconi MSc Finance for AM in London
reposting here
I know it's weird posting this in the AMforum but bear with me
I've been accepted to both programs. I successfully deferred admission for both programs to next year due to some health issues (so I'm looking to start the master in Sep 2022). In the meantime I'm starting an internship in a medium size AM company (but not that well recognised) in Jan. I'm also taking the CFA level 2 exam soon, after having passed level 1 in the December window
My issue here has to do with the duration of each program. My goal is to work for a company like BlackRock (PMG) or PIMCO. I just finished undergrad, and Bocconi's 2-years seems like an overkill given I'm taking already a gap year. However I'm dually inclined to Bocconi, as I attended an unranked university for undergrad, and the company I'll be working for isn't that well-known, thus I think 2 years will give me the chance to get more credible experience. LBS's 1 year program doesn't offer that opportunity obv.
Ppl with experience in recruitment, what do you think?
If you want to actually have AM theoretical knowledge and are ready to get rammed in the rear, go Bocconi.
If you just want the job and a very easy/fun course, go LBS. You can defer LBS graduation to get two years of applications
thanks for the reply.
i do value academic rigor and i'm well aware bocconi is the best in that regard. but also i think that the CFA work compensates for a great deal of it??
i'm not really a fan of LBS as an experience for many reasons (eg London being extremely expensive compared to Milan). it's just the duration that's compelling
I did the Bocconi MSc in Finance and while it is deeply theoretical, the main difficulty is that exams are tricky just for the sake of it, so that they can get a benchmark distribution for the grades of the whole course (which implies that basically 70% of the people have to get a bad grade).
Can't help you with AM and CFA as I went in IB.
LBS hands down, precisely if you wanna do AM instead of IB.
