Depends where you want work. Bocconi for Italy, ESCP for France, Imperial for London. Although LSE and LBS are best for London. 

 

As you already have Bocconi on your CV, I’d pick another European university to expand your network and diversify your experience.

- ESCP MiM if you want a 2-year program and are more inclined to work in Paris

- Imperial MSc F&A if you're mainly targeting London and prefer a 1-year program

No discussion about the HSG MACCFIN here.

As I’m currently waiting on a decision (and will likely receive an admit), am curious - are the opportunities for Non-German-speakers in Zurich solid? What are HSGs students general thoughts on the programme? (Ie are you just relegated to audit for the rest of your life or, with enough hard work, do you actually have a shot at landing solid consulting/IB jobs in Zurich)

There’s a lot of discussions on HSG on WiWi-treff, but they’re mainly for Germans (and reading through it with Google translate is tedious). Would be cool to hear from any internationals in HSG here.
