EMBA Bocconi Opinion

Hi there,

I am about to start an 18-month Executive MBA at Bocconi University and currently work in corporate finance (3 years of experience) plus 3 years of experience previously as entrepreneur cofounding an aparthotel. I would appreciate your insights on whether this EMBA at Bocconi would add value in pursuing opportunities at MBB firms in the Middle East, especially Dubai. Additionally, I’d love to understand which roles I could realistically aspire to with this background.

Thank you in advance for your time and guidance.

Usually full time MBAs are better as consulting firms go to campus and have specific processes for those MBA students. 

But... this doesn't mean that they don't want to talk to you... just means that less EMBAs target them as a potential employer. 

Honestly, I would reach out to your career services to ask for some advice, as they may comfortable in including you in the regular MBA recruiting activities (or have other ways to support you).

To conclude, yes, you should be able to pursue MBB opportunities just like any other Bocconi MBA student, and there may be a chance for you to be integrated in the full time MBA student processes / networking / trainings / meetings.
