Bocconi vs USI for working abroad - Italian student

Hi there,
I have a question about these universities, I. particular Bocconi: is it good if my objective is to work abroad and exclude completely the possibility to work in Italy?

Or does it make more sense to study in different locations as an italian student who wants to work abroad

My objective is to work in wealth management in Luxembourg or Switzerland, being also open for London
I know Bocconi manages to place ~10-15% of its italian students in jobs abroad, usually in dedicated positions (like coverage, mostly investment banking)

I had some doubts about wether going to Bocconi, since most of them will remain in Italy working for italian salaries (not very exciting)

My other option was to study in Italian Switzerland at University of Italian Switzerland (USI) in Lugano, since there would be a strong network of Italians interested in working in Switzerland/Luxembourg in wealth management, as well as a tailored career service for italian students.

The downside is that it doesn’t have the name of Bocconi

What would you suggest between the two universities and why?
USI seems better for the specific direction where I want to go, but Bocconi always has that strong brand name that attracts me

I would be glad for help
