ESADE vs Bocconi Master in FINANCE

by JJFF » Thu Mar 20, 2014 7:28 am
Hi Lads,

I have admitted to Bocconi (2 year program) and ESADE (1year program) for a Master in Finance, I dont know where to go. I d like to ask your suggestions or answers about the following questions:

MY GOALS & CONSIDERATIONS:
-Job Preferences: Investment Funds > Investment Banks > Consulting Firms. But the most important thing is that I want to have a job after graduation in a few months maximum, psychologically I could not stand being unemployed after studying so many years.
-Location: Abroad (no matter the country, I am spanish)
-I am 25 (nearly 26), I have studied a High Degree in Pharmacy prior to my BBA.

1) What Business Schools is better to hit the investment sector? No matter the country I d end up working.

2) What percentage (an estimation) of ESADE/Bocconi students land a job or internship in a investment institution ranging from 1st tier to 3rd tier (like ranging from Goldman Sachs to Societé Generale for example)?
I asked some Bocconi and ESADE's alumni and they told " a lot of my classmates found a summer internship in IBs in London" and then it was like 15% of their class. I know that breaking into IBs is quite tricky, but I though the acceptance rate was going to be higher.

3) Is the real salary similar to the average salary of 47.500 EUR/year after graduation stated in ESADE's website?

Thank you very much for your responses.
Kind regards,
José
