[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I learned something today, as I am in finance (I was an econ major at a T10 uni, and spent early years at GS) and have never heard of it. Not saying it is not well regarded, but in my 30 years in the field in NY and DC, I doubt I’ve met a grad.

But starting from the assumptions that it is an excellent econ program and that your son intends to base his career in the US, I mention 3 things for consideration.

- much US based company internship interviewing occurs on campus soph and junior years, your son will not be as positioned for those internships

- there is value to peer connections made while in college if intending to work in a field like finance, and your son would lack much of that network

- I’d look into if his class choices will be limited, since he could only take those taught in English. (tangentially, I would question the quality if professorship at a university that primarily teaches classes in a language not its home language)

Clearly, as you stated, you were a low level employee at GS….At my PE shop in the NYC (you know who we are), I have 14 Bocconi grads working there. 8 straight from undergrad and 6 from their Master programs. 
A quick glance on LinkedIn, shows 26 Bocconi grads at GS in NYC including 6 MDs….and several VPs…

Stop spreading misinformation if you admittedly know NOTHING about Bocconi. His class choices are not limited. ALL THE CLASSES at these international programs are taught in English. Bocconi is an European university that teaches mainly in English. Your questioning of the professorship at Bocconi is laughable if not ridiculous. Typical american exceptionalism with limited knowledge of the world beyond your field of vision….[/quote]
