Bocconi:
Pros-
1. Better reputation across Europe (excl France) and in London
2. An evenly split 2-year program
Cons-
1. Only 6-12 month post-study work visa
2. Italy's economy is struggling
ESSEC:
Pros-
1. Paris>Milan for Finance
2. 2-year post-study work visa
Cons-
1. It is a forced 2-year program since I have a 3-year bachelor's degree.
2. Relatively poor London placements
Factors to consider:
A. I have very less work ex in the field so I prefer the 2-year program for its internship opportunities.
B. I am a Non-EU candidate and I don't know either of the languages. But I intend to start learning them and have a good command over the language by the end of my studies.
I would love to hear your opinions!
Thanks!

Bocconi is by far the better program. I would definetly pick Bocconi. The Curriculum enables you to complete 2/3 internships which should be sufficient.
Unfortunately you did not state your career goals (prefered industry, location,usw.) you would like to work. If you try to land a Job in IB in London you should definetly pick Bocconi over ESSEC.
The fact that Italy's Economy is struggling should only be a factor in your considerations if you would like to work in Italy. The economy of french struggled for years, but that did not devalue the degrees from french universites.

Hey satvik1997,
Well, Bocconi and Essec are quite competitive in nature and I wouldn’t blame you for being confused between the two. Both these schools bag a place in the top 15 schools offering MFin around the globe.
Coming to your profile, it may face a bit of competitive disadvantage due to the lack of experience in the field- not a deal-breaker, but make sure you highlight your strengths and camouflage your weaknesses in a judicious manner.
A 740 is a pretty strong GMAT score. I would say, don’t undersell it. GMAT is an important
part of the process, easily accounting for 20–25% of the final consideration
for most schools, you have to make sure that you present an overall strong and
holistic profile.
You have hardly mentioned any major profile evaluating pointers, so I cannot comment on the same. It would be great if you take up a free profile evaluation and provide me with those details? Would be able to help you out better than - Here's the link: https://mim-essay.com/profile-evaluation?gcf
I would suggest that you should make a choice based on what are your expectations of the curriculum. Though ESSEC is a better school in terms of reputation.
As for the final verdict, I would say that ESSEC and Bocconi both are great brands. You need to make a choice on the basis of what are your expectations from the curriculum.
ESSEC has a flexible curriculum and gives you an opportunity to personalize your program.
Bocconi has an internship included in the curriclum so you get an opportunity to network. This will also help bridge the gap between you and your financial career since practical experience is most sought after within this field.
Apart from this, just make sure that you ace every part of the application (essays, GMAT,
LOR, resume) to get noticed.
I hope this helped, good luck!
