Hi sab7a,
I now work in Project Finance in Italy and I plan to work in banking in a different department (I would say corporate finance to stay general) and country as well. The other option is to work within the luxury business leveraging my financial skills. What do you suggest? Thanks in advanced for your reply.
I know that you want to change countries but SDA Bocconi would be a great fit for you. Bocconi's global brand name and it's network will help you for sure to find a job outside Italy. You can aim for an internship outside Italy. You can do an international exchange. There is a track for Luxury Business. Plus it is in Milan.
Anyhow, I don't want to change your focus on this. But you should be clear on your 5 years post mba plan. Your application essays should be very specific on this.
If you want to work in Zurich, from a quick LinkedIn search, I found around ~500 IE graduates and ~2000 St Gallen graduates in Switzerland. Most of the ~2000 are Executive MBA graduates. St Gallen is well known for it's executive education. So St Gallen will be your best option to work in Switzerland
If your plan to work in Europe then IE will give you the brand name and network support you need in any European country or even in Dubai & Asia. I did the same LinkedIn search in Netherlands, I got 35 St Gallen graduates and ~200 IE graduates.
Switzerland is an international location. Wherever you graduate from it will come down to your network, personal skills and
