Top 5 European university being LSE, Imperial and the like? Try leveraging some alumni networks as on campus recruitment/ referrals are more important in the US

Side note: very few hiring managers in the US will know what a top five European school means.

Undergrad and B-School both. My buddy went to INSEAD and hiring managers think he has a second head when he mentions the name.

Oxford probably would do better than your Bocconis and IEs.

Probably easier to join them in Europe and then transfer on L1 visa to the US. Not sure any of these firms are sponsoring H1Bs in the US
